Nike Basketball is throwing a costume party for its signature stars this Halloween, and Giannis is joining the fun from Miami. As the Greek Freak gets ready to start his first season outside of Milwaukee, he’s returning to green for his latest holiday sneaker colorway, turning his eighth signature sneaker into The Riddler’s green and purple suit.

Channeling his best Paul Dano and Jim Carrey, the Nike Giannis Freak 8 Halloween is coated in an armored metallic green upper, with GA logos dotted across the one-piece panel like the question marks on The Riddler’s suit. The midsole features more green in a gradient pattern that starts light at the toe and heel and gets darker towards the midsole to match the upper.
The tongue and sockliner switch to black, making the purple laces pop against the dark background. The tongue adds yet another shade of green, this time shinier than the rest, with a purple Giannis logo in the middle. Last but not least, a small gold Swoosh strikes across the side panel.
