The Air Jordan 5 Halloween is now listed on Nike SNKRS, with HQ7978-001 set for October 17, 2026, at 10 a.m. ET for $215. Buyers looking for the glow-in-the-dark pair have a date, a price and a channel to watch.
That drop matters because it gives shoppers a fixed window instead of a vague “coming soon” notice. Nike SNKRS says the shoe will be available on October 17, 2026, at 10 a.m. ET, and select Jordan Brand retailers are expected to carry it as well.

The shoe arrives in Black/Picante Red/Glow In The Dark/Black, with black nubuck, Picante Red shark teeth and glow-in-the-dark accents. Nike Air heel branding is included, and the design is tied to the fighter-jet-inspired Air Jordan 5 silhouette that Tinker Hatfield designed.
The family sizing broadens the release beyond a single adult purchase. Big kids' pairs are priced at $155, little kids' pairs at $95 and toddler pairs at $80, while the adult pair sits at $215.

For buyers, the practical move is simple: mark the time and be ready at the release window on Nike SNKRS. The listing puts the shoe in the same fall shopping lane as other limited drops, but the exact pair counts are not listed, so the clearest path is the scheduled launch itself.
The writer says they are not big on Halloween sneakers, yet this one still calls their name. That split fits the shoe’s pitch: Halloween-inspired without looking like a costume, which makes it easier to wear after October 31 and harder to file away as a novelty.
For readers who want the pair, the choice is narrow and immediate. The release is set, the price is set, and the sizes are set; what happens on Nike SNKRS at 10 a.m. ET will decide who gets through first.
