Halloween Mystery Solved! What Sneakers Would the Scooby Gang Wear?
The Scooby gang's fashion is as every bit iconic as their mystery-solving skills, which has made them a perennial option for Halloween costumes. Their outfits and signature colours are easy to replicate, and sneakers can be the ultimate extension to the look. Whether it's a royal purple Dunk High for Daphne or a chaotic and food related Dunk Low for Shaggy, there's a sneaker for every member of Mystery Inc. (yes, even Scooby).
Buckle up and 'let's do what we do best, Scoob!' – talk sneakers.
Scooby Doo
'Ruh-roh–RAGGY!!!'
It's only right to start with Scooby Doo, the easily frightened and always hungry Great Dane. While he of course doesn't wear shoes, he definitely could wear any of the below and not look entirely out of place. The warm browns are the perfect match to Scooby, which is why the , , and are the chosen pairs. The and wander x Salomon colab even has a hit of the same turquoise featured on his collar!
Daphne Blake
'I am so over this damsel in distress nonsense.'
There's no shortage of feature colours to choose from with Daphne, as she seems to have them all: pink, purple, green and orange. Despite these options, purple is of course numero uno when it comes to Daphne. Any hints of pink and orange are a bonus though! The , , and are the winners for Miss Blake, but the SB Dunk Low does take out the cake, with the perfect shade of purple used on the upper and a dash of orange seen on the aglets and tongue branding. Daphne's outfit is streamlined and colour blocked, so her shoes should be no exception.
Shaggy Rogers
'Let’s vote on it. Mystery or pizza pie?'
Ah, Shaggy, the dishevelled and equally as hungry best friend to Scooby Doo. He may only have three feature colours, green, red and brown, but sometimes there's just a *vibe* that screams Shaggy Rogers, and that's exactly what the and have in spades. It's also very fitting to have a food connection in the latter – Shaggy would absolutely approve. The last selection is a more classic option, with the brown and green on the complementing his outfit rather than his overall vibe.
Velma Dinkley
'Mystery is my mistress. I must heed her sweet call.'
Velma Dinkley, aka everyone's geeky crush, has the iconic orange and red rotation going on (besides of course the famous live-action all-orange jumpsuit, iykyk). Any old red shoe would do the trick since her OG character wears red Mary Jane style heels, but Velma deserves better than that! The and the and are the picks for Velma. If she were a sneakerhead, there's no doubt she'd love the , with its chunky and retro feel, which is why there are two in this selection.
Fred Jones
'It looks like we’ve got ourselves a mystery.'
Like Daphne, Fred appreciates his style, with his clean blue pants, crisp white shirt, and blazing orange ascot. His cartoon shoes do leave a lot to be desired though, and the Nike Dunk High and pairs would certainly be Fred's vibe. They both match his signature colours almost perfectly, with the former hitting the blue and white, and the latter hitter the orange and blue. They're both clean, crisp and blazing – a match made in Freddie Jones heaven.
