The price is a reference to the Bible verse inscribed on the shoe – “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven,” from Luke 10:18. The custom sneakers were apparently a collaboration between the company MSCHF (Mischief) and rapper Lil Nas X.
In what must be a remarkable coincidence, the rapper has just released a music video (WARNING: GRAPHIC) in which he “rides a stripper pole into hell and gives the Devil a lap dance.”
...The saddest part about the “Satan shoes” stunt is that it doesn’t seem to be purposefully political or religious, just a nihilistic money grab that perfectly fits the current zeitgeist. It’s no doubt a cross promotion with Lil Nas X’s new single, but the company behind it has also made “Jesus shoes”before – a limited run of white ‘97 Air Max shoes was filled with holy water – as their seventh custom “drop.” The “Satan shoes” are their 43rd.
Every comment is like "he's just being an artist. he's just being controversial!"
lol these people unironically believe "lil nas x" has full artistic control of his music, lyrics and music video production.
The people creepily chanting "they're just being edgy" don't have 6-year-olds singing along with WAP.
There's a difference between an "edgy" artist and an international conspiracy to push degeneracy on children by broadcasting the worst of this "art" into every home.
Wow, what a sick world we live in.
