Satans sneakers and Jesus-Treter | hpd

White sneakers with holy water filling are OK, black with blood filling a case for the court: the New York art collective & quot; MSCHF & quot; is known for its consumer-critical attitude and sensational works. The rapper Lil NAS X is in no way inferior to that. Together, they gave a Nike sneaker a satanic cure. Nike then went to court to prevent the sale of the evil treters. In the sneaker style Jesus, including cross and holy water, the threat of lamentation seems to have been forgotten in the deposit.

The sneakers of the attack have it in themselves: they consist of the model "Nike Air Max 97", whose sole is filled with red ink and allegedly a drop of blood by a person of the art collective "MSCHF". As an extra, the sound received: inside another pendant in the form of a pentagram on the lacing and a reference to the Luke Gospel, Chapter 10 (10: 18: & quot; then he said to them: I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven & quot;), which deals with the fall of Satan out of heaven. Also noted: the print, which of the only 666 processed shoe pairs it is. Cost per pair: 1,018 dollars (about 840 euros). 665 copies had already been sold within minutes and more than 666 pairs had not been planned as part of the art action. = = references = External links = = However, shoe pairs are no longer reported to have come, as the manufacturer made Nike stop the sale and award in court. An unnecessary act, as the collective meant.

Two years ago, things had gone completely different when MSCHF had already given Nike sneakers a new robe. At that time, the shoes received a sole-filling of priestly consecrated water from the Jordan, a cross with Jesus on the lacing, a printed drop of blood on the tongue, and a reference to the Gospel according to Matthew. A complaint or a sales stop is not known, although both the Jesus-sneakers and the Satans tretters have been critical of outright business collaborations. As a justification, Nike points out that he wants to decide for himself which products should wear the well-known "swoosh" logo. But why in 2019 the logo and design of the Jesus-sneaker was not a problem, was not mentioned.

MSCHF explained that each of the changed pairs of shoes has become a unique work of art and certainly no one believes Nike has offered these shoes like this. In a statement on its own website, the art collective explains the collaboration with Lil NAs X, rejects a cooperation with Nike and explains the backgrounds and connections between Jesus and Satan & APOs; s sports shoes. For the artists: inside, the initiated discussion about shoes is a success. They attach great importance to the freedom of expression.

After even politicians: from inside to criticize the satanic version of the shoes, Lil NAs X released an alleged apology on Twitter, which is only one at first sight. She breaks off already before the actual apology and directs via Lil NAs X 'provocative music video "MONTERO (call me by your name)", in which the rapper is seduced from a subcooled paradise by a sexy snake and then glides to hell dancing on a pole to dethroned the ruler there. A video that might be as hot as hell for some viewers: just over three minutes full of sexualized male bodies and homoerotic.

A scandal for conservatives who interfere not only with the depictions of satanic figures, but also at the homosexuality of rapper Lil NAs X-or rather, homosexuality in general. A social problem that exerts immense and sometimes deadly pressure on, for example, homosexual or bisexual people. Two years ago, Lil NAs X reported on his experiences and how difficult it was to grow up as a homosexual. Sometimes he prayed that it was a temporary phase. In 2019, he finally outed himself officially.
