<p>Following the release of the visual for his song <em>Montero</em>, Lil Nas X announced that he would be releasing custom Nike&#8217;s with a hint of human blood. According to Lil Nas X, the &#8216;Satan Shoes&#8217; are being made in collaboration with streetwear company MSCHF, using one of Nike&#8217;s most infamous designs&#8211;the Air Max 97s.</p>
<p><a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/nike-executive-resigns-following-reports-of-her-son-using-a-credit-card-in-her-name-to-fund-his-sneaker-resale-business/">Nike</a>, however, must not have gotten the memo about the new kicks because the company has revealed that is has no involvement with Lil Nas X or his shoes. In a statement to <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/pop-culture-news/nike-denies-involvement-lil-nas-x-satan-shoes-containing-human-n1262280">NBC News</a>, Nike denies having anything to do with the release.</p>
<p>&#8220;We do not have a relationship with Lil Nas X or MSCHF,&#8221; the statement says. &#8220;Nike did not design or release these shoes and we do not endorse them.&#8221;</p>
<p>Lil Nas X announced the release of the &#8220;Satan Shoes&#8221; over the weekend, noting that only 666 pairs would be sold. The sneakers have a pentagram pendant on them and are said to have a drop of human blood in each pair. Lil Nas X also detailed that they would be sold for $1,018 in reference to Luke 10:18, which speaks about Satan&#8217;s fall from heaven.</p>
<p>We aren&#8217;t sure whether or not Lil Nas X really planned to release these shoes, but it&#8217;s very possible that he was just trolling the folks who criticized his new video. Nevertheless, the sneaker announcement brought about various opinions about Nas&#8217; religious views as well as his music.</p>
<p>Masika Kalysha took to Twitter to voice her opinion about the shoes, saying she came to Lil Nas X&#8217;s defense regarding his music video but she thinks he took things a little too far.</p>
<p>&#8220;<em>Ok now Lil Nas X I was tellin&#8217; people they need to chill but then you put out these demon shoes with human blood and that&#8217;s just disgusting and demonic and something we absolutely do not tf need</em>,&#8221; she wrote. &#8220;<em>Every check ain&#8217;t a good check. Human blood my nig? What in the absolute fk.</em>&#8221;</p>
