Nike Responds After Lil Nas X ‘Satan Shoes’ Spark Backlash
Rapper Lil Nas X sparked backlash this weekend over his new so-called “Satan shoes.” The musician designed a pair of Nike sneakers that apparently include a drop of human blood mixed with ink, of which only 666 pairs are available for purchase, staying inline with the satanic theme.
Nike said Sunday, however, that the company has nothing to do with the release or the design of the shoes. The company stopped short of denouncing the Satan-themed kicks, though.
The rapper reportedly worked with the company MSCHF to design the hellish sneakers.
