Satan shoes

[Orbit]

Many are up in arms about rapper LilNasX's faux-Nike "Satan Shoes", each with a drop of blood in the soles. He says it's a LGBT-positive affirming work of art. Critics see the lap dance with Satan in his music video as going too far. What say you?

Walking on blood, easy peasy, try walking in louboutins

Ugh, this. His behavior since this little stunt has made me not like him anymore. He made a lot of his fans angry with this, and he's just crapping on everyone who doesn't like it, when he did promote himself to children before this (he's been on Sesame Street, performed at an elementary school and so on). It is bizarre how, in recent years, the music industry has been pushing Satanic imagery through pop music and rap, whereas that used to be something used in metal and other underground scenes as a gimmick. There's still "Illuminati" stuff being pushed, too. A lot of people are noticing and aren't very happy about this. Black Americans, especially, are very adverse to anything Satanic as a group, since they are still strongly Christian or at least Muslim as a demographic. So this isn't to make the fans happy. Maybe he did sell his soul. You certainly seem to have sell out somehow to get ahead in the pop world these days.

I mean, you have to wonder what the point is since the fans don't really like and it just makes people angry, especially around Holy Week and Easter. Nike is suing the crap out of him, too, so I have to wonder what the payoff for him is. He's just another in a chain of popstars who have done similar things.

The blood on the sole and the in-your-face pentagram is a huge turnoff imo.

I think the memes coming out about it are funny. It doesn't bother me. There are many more pressing things to worry about then what a celebrity is doing, in my view.

I just bought 4 pairs of these on sale....$20/pair.
(I wear out Crocs, so I'll go thru these.)

I suspect that there aren't many customers able &
willing to wear these hideous size 13 affronts to God.
I'm sure they'll will get some laughs.

My friend loves Crocs. She would be willing to wear them lol.

What is wrong with her!

I think the federal judge siding with Nike is a bad decision.

Should Hanes be able to stop a silk screening shop from selling t-shirts with a logo they don’t like or demand they remove the tag?

This stunt or whatever it is must be working; I had never heard of this person before.

I might try painting some for a little variety.

I wear sabots around the garden, similar, without the heel strap,made of leather, and one colour black. Otherwise they are identical.

Seems like a strange publicity stunt for a rather boring video.

Sounds like a lot of people are taking *way* too seriously.

If you're wearing those, you ain't walking.

I don't know what the law says so can't comment on it from that perspective, but can't see any difference between selling modified cars with their original badging and modified shoes so long as they are sold as modified products and not original products.

That being said I wouldn't choose to have someone's blood on my shoes from a hygiene perspective under ordinary circumstances.

I usually wear loubies when we go out somewhere special so it can be done and they are truly the most comfortable, well fitting shoes I've worn. Covid has put an end to that though, when its over i will need to spend months practicing...

You're tall anyway aren't you? - with those on you must look like an Amazon.

Nike wins lawsuit over 'Satan Shoes' with human blood

"Buyer McKenzi Norris of South Carolina, a longtime follower of the MSCHF art collective, said Nike's lawsuit had disrupted his plans to resell the trainers for $2,500 on eBay, which removed his listing." --the article

Its a case in which nobody involved is in the right, because Nike is famous for its slave-made sneakers. I don't know anything about this rapper or whether Nike generally encourages people like McKenzi Norris to modify and to resell or not. Fact is, Nike has the legal authority (possibly the right, not sure) to prevent its brand from being used in this fashion; but morally it has the legal and moral duty to shrivel and die.

Well, it's one for the money two for the show
Three to get ready now go, cat, go

But don't you step on my blue satan shoes
Well you can do anything but
Lay off of my blue satan shoes
