The rapper is said to have designed a sneaker for his new single ‘Montero’. The sole of the new sneakers, called ‘Satan Shoe’, contains a drop of human blood. The shoe is said to be a remake of a classic Nike Air Max from 1997, but with various Biblical references to the devil. According to previous reports, there would only be 666 pairs of the exclusive sneakers on the market, which are individually numbered. There is also a Bible 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.

As a result of previous reports about the new sneaker, Nike got a lot of attention on social media. “How can you design such a shoe, with such a satanist message? This brand is also worn by children. It is really disgusting for words that a brand like Nike gives in to this, ”said a follower. Another says, “Ironically, these sneakers are called ‘Satan Shoes’. Satan is the devil. And apparently Nike has now sold its soul to the devil to release these bizarre sneakers. ”
