Lil Nas X’s controversial “Satan Shoes” sold out in less than 60 seconds when they went up for sale Monday after being widely publicized for their demonic imagery. Limited to 666 individually numbered pairs of Nike Air Max 97s, the satanic sneakers were modified by New York streetwear company MSCHF, and went for $1,018 each, according to CNN. The soles contain a drop of human blood mixed with black ink — blood which reportedly came from MSCHF employees pricking their fingers.
