Rapper Lil Nas X is attempting to drum up publicity by releasing controversy-inducing Satanic-themed sneakers and a new music video where he gets sexual with Lucifer.
POLL: What scares you the most?
Lil Nas X partnered with MSCHF, a Brooklyn-based creative arts company, to create "Satan Shoes." The demonic sneakers are a pair of Nike Air Max 97, which normally retail around $170, but the air bubble is filled with 60cc of red ink and a drop of human blood. The sneakers also have the number "666," and will be a limited edition release of 666 pairs.
The sneaker references Luke 10:18-20 from the Bible, which reads: "He replied, 'I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.'"
The MSCHF x Lil Nas X Satan Shoes will go on sale on March 29, at a price of $1,018.
