While the news of these quickstrike release came late last month, we’re taking Halloween Eve as an ocassion to tell you that these are now available. The tradition of Nike’s Halloween quickstrike releases are, for some sneakerheads, as legendary as any vampire, werewolf or witch. For a good number of years the Beaverton company have been releasing ‘horror’ inspired versions of their classic shoes with a tongue-in-cheek twist. Hallowe’en 2009 is no exception, but the inspiration veers away from the Frankensteins and pumpkins of late, instead coming from the classic Looney Tunes character Gossamer. One of the legendary Chuck Avery’s less famous creations, the orange haired creature wore over-sized white sneakers and the Savage Beasts are a tribute to this hirsute trend-setter. Features include: faux hair upper, Savage Beast font Nike lace jewel and Savage Beast logo on heel. Available here.
