For those of you either to young to remember or too old to care, Freddy Krueger’s franchise, ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street’ was possibly the most popular horror movie series this side of Friday the 13th.

In his dream haunting, Freddy straddled the line of making us kids laugh and causing us to have endless nightmares. لعبة قمار His green-and-red striped sweater and fedora became Freddy’s trademark and the Nike shoe incorporates the stripes with actual sweater material and a blood splattered exterior to create an iconic shoe for the ages.

What can I say? The shoes are just too dope not to wear! Besides, I think Freddy would appreciate the more authentic blood anyway.
