The buyer has now listed the sneaker on the resale website StockX for 4,000.
“Nike did not design or release these shoes and we do not endorse them.” The pair, not endorsed or made by Nike, was worn by A-list celebrities like Drake a huge Nike fan who now has his own sub-brand with the Swoosh. The MSCHF x INRI x Nike Air Max 97 ‘Jesus Shoes’ allows the wearer to literally walk on water. The “Old Town Road” singer raised hell over the weekend when he released a devilish version of Nike’s classic Air Max ’97 sneakers, featuring the symbol “x/666,” red ink and a single drop of human blood. Shoes are a little heavier than regular shoes thanks to the water but not noticeable when walking. A custom design conceived and engineered by Brooklyn-based creative agency MSCHF, the retro runner’s Max Air unit is injected with 60cc of holy water, sourced from the River Jordan and blessed by a priest in Brooklyn. I ended up going a half size up from my typical Nike/Jordan size since 97s are usually pretty narrow and I have wide feet. The $1,018 kicks, made in collaboration with the company MSCHF, also display Bible scripture from Luke 10:18, which references Satan’s banishment from heaven.īut Little Nas X and Nike caught heat for the fiery fashion statement on Palm Sunday, prompting the firm to distance itself from the product, NBC reported. On Sunday, the hip hop artist defended the shoes tweeting, “Y’all gotta admit… the shoes hard! u cannot sit here and lie.”
In his new video, “Montero (Call Me By Your Name),” Lil Nas X falls into hell and gives the devil a lap dance after leaving the Garden of Eden. MSCHF previously released a pair of modified Nike Air Max 97s called the “Jesus Shoes,” containing “holy water” in its sole from the River Jordan.
