Rapper Lil Nas X has designed a sneaker for his new single Montero. The sole of the new sneaker, which is called Satan Shoe, contains a drop of human blood.
The shoe is a remake of a classic Nike Air Max from 1997 with several biblical references to the devil. There are only 666 pairs of these shoes and they are all individually numbered. There is also a biblical text about Satan falling like lightning from heaven, embroidered on the side of the shoe. A print of a pentagram can be seen on the bottom of the shoe.
According to fact-checking website Snopes, Nike did not design or release the sneaker.
The design of the shoe matches the mood from the music video of Lil Nas X’s new single Montero. In this he seduces the devil with a lap dance. Lil Nas X has come under fire as a result of the video clip and the new sneaker. Not all of his fans can think of the diabolical references. “A ticket to hell” is how one fan describes the couple.
From Monday, the shoes can be ordered in limited quantities from USD 1,018 (about 860 euros) per pair.
