Nike's rare Air Flightposite sneaker is back...and villainous as ever.

Nike's Air Flightposite shoe has returned in one of its most sought-after colorways, "Black/Metallic Gold." Or if you're a Marvel-loving sneakerhead, you may call it the "Green Goblin" Flightposite.

This particular Nike Flightposite colorway has been around since 1999. But the sneaker gained the nickname "Green Goblin" after the premiere of the 2002 superhero classic Spider-Man, which starred Willem Dafoe as the Green Goblin.

Although the latest Nikes aren't the same exact pairs Dafoe wore in the movie, the Nike Flightposite sneakers undoubtedly matched the Green Goblin's fly (his lustrous green costume).

Nike again wraps Flightposite sneakers in that cool upper mold, as seen on Nike's Foamposite sneakers and Clogposite slip-on shoes. Like the Green Goblin's outfit, Nike's Flightposite sneaker offers up that familiar green-ish gold luster, joined by quiet black shades.

Nike's "Green Goblin" Flightposite sneaker will be available on Nike's SNKRS app on October 30. Nike has also prepared a Clogposite mule in the same villain-themed colorways, which will drop shortly after the Flightposites on November 1.

Sure, these would be perfect for Halloween. However, unless you select a super speedy shipping option at checkout, fans might not get them in time for the spooky holiday.

But hey, if you've got a Spider-Man marathon planned coming up in November, you may be in luck...and potentially the most stylish Marvel head at movie night.
