Although it will sound weird for many of you. But if you didn’t hear about Sneakers that contain human blood. Then here’s what you need to know.
Brooklyn-based company MSCHF has teamed up with rapper Lil Nas X to release a batch of exclusive demon-themed sneakers. And only 666 pairs went on sale as the price was $1018 which is almost 73.4 thousand rubles). Of course, neither the quantity nor the price of the shoes is random.
Let the tell you that this shoe is from the American brand MSCHF. Well known for creating unique pieces in small batches. Almost two years ago, the firm released Nike Air Max 97 running shoe called Jesus shoes. Their soles were filled with water from the Jordan River and the wearer could literally “walk on water”.
This time, fans of original shoes were offered something diametrically opposite. The same Nike Air Max is made in a red and black infernal style, and on their tongue, we can see that there is also a pentagram. In addition to this. Each shoe has a serial number from 1 to 666 and the inscription Luke 10:18. And it refers us to the verse of the Gospel of Luke “He said to them: I saw Satan falling from heaven like lightning.”
In a press release, it was confirmed that each shoe contains a capsule containing 66 milliliters of red ink and a drop of blood. Whose blood was used in this case, the MSCHF didn’t inform. Popular rapper Lil Nas X took part in the creation of this shoe, whose clip, titled Montero, inspired the product designers. In it, the performer descends into Hell on a pole for a striptease. The musician, who recently admitted that he is gay, also starred in a commercial for sneakers.
The MSCHF company annually produces unusual and very expensive things. In 2019, the brand introduced sandals made from Hermes, (Birkin bags). The footwear got the name “Birkenstock” and it was possible to buy it for 34 thousand dollars (2.4 million rubles per pair). The company offers its clients and art objects, but also in a very unusual presentation. A year ago, MSCHF bought a painting by Damien Hirst at an auction in New York for $ 30,000 (2.1 million rubles), cut it into 88 pieces, and sold each for $ 480.
Now soon after it grabbed everyone’s attention and ever since he unveiled his collaboration with MSCHF on a brand of customized “Satan Shoes” it has sparked major backlash lies in the shoes’ sole, believed to be filled with 66cc of ink and a drop of human blood.
