10 Sneakers You Can Build A Halloween Costume Around

None

Nike Air Tech Challenge

Costume: Andre Agassi 

You really can't lose with the Tech Challenge Is or IIs, but the primary focus is pairing the colorful kicks with a neon-accented shirt, long blonde hair-metal wig, and the short acid-wash shorts. You have now transformed into one of the most iconic '90s looks that will be sure to get a few laughs and maybe even a few shots from any girls who still love Poison. 

Vans Checkered Slip-Ons 

Costume: Jeff Spicoli 

If you don't already have these Vans in your rotation you wouldn't exactly be breaking the bank to get a pair. No one repped checkered Vans like the low-key 80's hero that is Jeff Spicoli. Now all you need is a shirt for service and some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and you're ready, duuude. 

Jeremy Scott x adidas Originals "Wings" 

Costume: A$AP Rocky  

Since Halloween last year, not too many newcomers have been killing it like our February/March cover man, A$AP. Between the 16s and dope Jeremy Scott laced kicks this dude is like the new Michael Jackson with his unforced and difficult to duplicate style. Upscale or adidas head-to-toe, either way we have a feeling the ladies might be feeling this look. 

Nike Cortez 

Costume: Forrest Gump  

Another sneaker that is affordable or already likely in your closet. Pairing some Nike Cortez with one of your old man's leisure suits and the slurring of your words after a few shots will make it easy for you to pass as the IQ-challenged Forrest Gump. Let us know how "life is like a box of chocolates" works as a pick-up line.

Air Jordan XIII "White/True Red-Black"

Costume: Jake Shuttlesworth 

When it comes to movies and sneakers none are quite as dope as He Got Game—you see the alias given to the same XIIIs releasing in 2013 that Jake rocked proud with his electronic ankle bracelet on Coney Island. Just rock the 'fro, the cut-off tee, and Js if you grabbed one of the three drops. Don't worry about beating them up, it's time to re-up anyways. $150 with tax. 

Air Jordan Vs 

Costume: Fresh Prince 

Everyone at one point or another has wanted to emulate Will Smith's style from The Fresh Prince, whether you were old enough to remember the show or not. If you have a pair of Vs, some neon tees, baseball caps, and a knack for spitting corny one-liners, you're good to go. Having a wing man willing to play the role of Carlton is encouraged. 

Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars

Costume: Wiz Khalifa

Last-minute resort, grab a pair of Chucks and get your Wiz Khalifa on. We know you got the camo shorts and wife-beater, or the denim, to complete this look. As for the ink, just bring a Sharpie with you and have the ladies give you tattoos themselves. After you have the time of your life and score your own Amber Rose, just remember to make your checks payable to the Complex Sneakers team.

Air Jordan IIIs or IVs 

Costume: Mars Blackmon 

Has there ever been a better fictional sneakerhead or campaign for a signature shoe? The face-in-hole Twitter avatars were king a few years ago but it's time to step your sneaker pop culture game up with the full Mars Blackmon gear for Halloween. This should be a no-brainer, IIIs or IVs and some fat-rimmed glasses and you're good to go.

New Balance 991 

Costume: Steve Jobs 

The game hasn't been the same since our man Steve Jobs passed away. (Glad you dropped a few bills on that iPhone 5?) No one has made New Balance quite as cool as the king of Cupertino. There's no way better to pay your respects to a genius and keep your feet comfortable while you and your friends terrorize the neighborhood kids for candy. iGenius.

Nike Air MAG

Costume: Marty McFly  

If you were lucky wealthy enough to get nuts on the bidding for one of the greatest releases of all time, you might as well throw on a bubble vest and cuff your denim to get McFly for the evening. Um, you also might want to wrap the MAGs in plastic or something, considering the amount of liquid courage that will be flowing, people won't be coherent enough to avoid scuffing your kicks, even with the light on.
