The shoe is a modified variant of a Nike model and is adorned with pentagrams and references to Bible verses about Satan's fall from heaven.

The sole is also said to contain a drop of human blood.

All 666 pairs of shoes sold sold out immediately after they were launched.

Lil Nas X posted a video under the headline "Lil Nas X apologizes for satanic shoe", but instead of the promised apology, you get to see a clip of his music video that was launched at the same time as the shoe.

MSCHF has claimed that the shoes are numbered works of art and hopes, despite the ruling, to be able to resolve the situation with Nike.
