Lil NAS X release sneaker with human blood

Only on Friday, rapper and singer Lil NAs X caused a stir with the release of his video for «MONTERO (call me by your name) »: in the clip, the 21-year-old ends up in hell after a few escapades, where he personally gives the devil a lap dance. For many Twitter users, the clip was difficult to swallow-criticism was hasty.

On the weekend, NAS once again provided handles to the imaginary pearl chain: on Twitter, he announced the release of his newly designed Nike Air Max 97 sneaker, which was created in collaboration with the New York label MSCHF. The sole of the upcycle sneaker is supposed to contain one drop of human blood, the rest of the cavity is filled with 60 cc ink.

& quot; I saw Satan fall from heaven like lightning. & quot;

Other features of the shoe are a copper pentagram pendant on the laces, an embroidered Bible Psalm (Luke 10: 18) and a reverse cross on the soles. The Bible passage reads as follows: & quot; I saw Satan fall from heaven like lightning. & quot; on Monday, the macabre shoe appeared in an edition of 666 individually numbered couples, which are available for around 950 euros. But the real joke is the American price: 1018 dollars cost the Treters, the amount points to Psalm 10: 18.

When asked how they got the blood, MSCHF founder Daniel Greenberg answers to the New York times: & quot; Uhhhhhh hahah-there were no medical experts there, we took it from ourselves Lol. & quot; according to his statement, six of his collaborators have agreed to & quot; sacrifice & quot; a little of their own life juice for the shoe-but the latter is just a cool word and has nothing to do with any religious rites. MSCHF is, by the way, the elitist version of the word & quot; mischief & quot;, which means as much as mischief or mischief.

Nike itself has meanwhile distanced itself from the shoe on which the Nike logo is clearly visible. The spokespersons of the sportswear giant are brief: & quot; we do not support such shoes. & quot;
