American musician Lil Nas X and Brooklyn brand MSCHF have created a limited run of 666 pairs of black Nike trainers, which they claim have been customised with human blood.
The Satan Shoes were created to mark the singer's music video for his new single Montenero (Call Me By Your Name), which features visuals of Lil Nas X sliding down a stripper pole into hell and giving the devil a lapdance.
Custom Nike Air Max 97's feature pentagrams and inverted crucifixes
MSCHF said that the sole of every pair of Satan Shoes contains a drop of human blood, donated by six members of the design team. The blood was mixed with bright red ink before being injected into the signature air cushions of the Nike Air Max 97 shoes.
The Satan Shoes are a tie-in with Lil Nas X's new song
The custom Nikes also include diabolic design elements such as an upside-down cross on the tongue loop and a pentagram charm dangling from the laces.
Luke 10:18 is painted in red above the tread, a reference to the verse from the Gospel of Luke in the Bible that says: "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven".
