Lots of misinformation here about this shoe on here.
The shoe was never released or even sold at stores. IF any store got a pair it was back doored immediately. Any produced outside of samples were destroyed. Reebok actually had the New Line Cinema, which included Nightmare on Elm St, deal for shoes/clothing when this shoe was about to release, so yes it was canceled over IP rights. Reebok made Freddy Alien Stompers. So to avoid 2 parties ganging up on Nike, these got scraped.
Now the Wes Craven estate owns this version of Freddy & isn’t giving it up to anyone. Nike did release a Freddy AM95 a few years back only over seas to avoid legal action. Issues like this has happened before with Nike & Universal owning Back To The Future, Marvel, Van Halen, etc.
The crazy bickering & stories about this shoe I helped settle decades ago when Nike-sb.org was a thing.

Freddy AM95’s didn’t get released in the US? Just Europe then I’m guessing?
