MSCHF confirmed via email March 29 that the limited-edition 'drop' of 666 pairs sold out in less than a minute (though Lil Nas X will keep the first pair, MSCHF creative director Kevin Wiesner told CNN). 'Nike did not design or release these shoes and we do not endorse them.' 'We do not have a relationship with Lil Nas or MSCHF,' the company said. In an emailed statement to CNN, Nike said it was not involved in creating the modified sneakers. The black and red sneakers, part of a collaboration between Lil Nas X and New York-based art collective MSCHF, were made using Nike Air Max 97s, though the sportswear brand has distanced itself from the design.
Rapper and singer Lil Nas X launched a controversial pair of ' Satan Shoes' featuring a bronze pentagram, an inverted cross and a drop of real human blood - and they sold out almost immediately.
