Word is, MSCHF\/Nike are only dishing out 666 of these puppies to the public \u2026 so if you have 6\/666, that seems to mean you got the 6th model.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Here\u2019s the kicker \u2026 apparently, these shoes will contain one drop of human blood somewhere along the soles. And no, not the metaphorical blood, sweat and tears of the factory workers who will presumably put these together \u2026 like, actual plasma-filled red stuff.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Although the shoes are Nike brand, the \u201cSatan shoes\u201d project is not affiliated with Nike. A spokesperson for the company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snopes.com\/fact-check\/nike-satan-shoes-lil-nas-x\/\">told Snopes<\/a>: \u201cNike did not release nor design these shoes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 21-year-old Hill, a gay hip-hop artist who became famous for his hit song \u201cOld Town Road\u201d in 2019, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2021\/01\/05\/953349880\/lil-nas-x-says-children-are-his-core-audience-right-now-and-thats-ok\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">told NPR<\/a>&nbsp;in January that his core audience is children. Before releasing his Satan Shoes, Hill appeared with Elmo on \u201cSesame Street\u201d and wrote a children\u2019s book called \u201cC Is For Country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hill\u2019s infernal footwear coincides with the release of the graphic new music video for his new song \u201cMontero (Call Me By Your Name),\u201d&nbsp;which trended at the top of YouTube with more than 25 million views as of Sunday afternoon. <a href=\"http:\/\/holrmagazine.com\/the-powerful-meanings-lil-nas-xs-video-for-montero-cmbyn-holds-for-queer-audiences\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Replete with biblical and occult imagery<\/a>, the video depicts Hill being sexually seduced in the Garden of Eden by Satan in serpentine form, after which the camera cuts to the forbidden Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, which is famous for its role in the Book of Genesis and the fall of man.<\/p>\n<p>Into the tree\u2019s bark is etched an ancient Greek quote from Plato\u2019s \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.perseus.tufts.edu\/hopper\/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0173%3Atext%3DSym.%3Apage%3D191\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Symposium<\/a>\u201d that translates: \u201cNow when our first form had been cut in two, each half in longing for its fellow would come to it again.\u201d The passage is a reference to ancient pagan views of dualism and sexuality, that humans were originally male, female, and androgynous, and that homosexuality is an attempt to recover one\u2019s primal nature.<\/p>\n<p>After being stoned to death by judgmental figures ostensibly condemning him for his sexuality, Hill then ascends toward an angelic being in heaven before sliding down to hell on a stripper pole. He discovers the devil sitting on his throne encircled with Latin that translates: \u201cThey condemn what they don\u2019t understand.\u201d After giving a lap dance to Satan, who happens to be wearing the expensive Nike shoes he is selling, Hill snaps his neck and assumes his horned crown.<\/p>\n<p>Hill said dethroning Satan is symbolic of \u201cdismantling the throne of judgment and punishment that has kept many of us from embracing our true selves out of fear,\u201d according&nbsp;to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/culture\/culture-news\/lil-nas-x-montero-call-me-by-your-name-video-church-of-satan-1147634\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rolling Stone<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>David Harris, magister for the Church of Satan, praised Hill for the video, telling Rolling Stone: \u201cHe obviously did his homework.&nbsp;Whether he consulted with us directly or did his own research, he clearly put a lot of effort into this video.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Church of Satan, founded by Anton LaVey in 1966, claims not to worship Satan as a deity but rather elevates the self and one\u2019s own will as supreme.&nbsp;\u201cBasically we worship ourselves. We refer to ourselves as I-theists,\u201d Harris told Rolling Stone. \u201cWe see ourselves as our own god.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Harris especially applauded the final scene of Hill\u2019s video as particularly reflective of satanic principles. As Rolling Stone reported:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"22\">\n<p><em>Indeed, the ending of the video, in which Lil Nas X snaps Satan\u2019s neck and puts the horns on his own head to crown himself as a god, is what struck Harris as \u201cthe most Satanic part of the video.\u201d \u201cWe view ourselves as the most powerful beings in the world. The fact that he crowned himself as Satan \u2014 now,&nbsp;that\u2019s&nbsp;Satanic,\u201d he says, noting it\u2019s especially empowering in the context of Lil Nas X making a statement about his own journey as a black gay artist who has faced bigotry.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>As for the infamous intratheistic lap dance, far from being sacareligious [sic], Satanists believe in all forms of consensual sexuality, so \u201csomeone giving a lap dance to anyone who wants one is obviously more than welcome within the confines of Satanism,\u201d he says.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Bible verse emblazoned along the side of Hill\u2019s satanic sneakers is \u201cLuke 10:18,\u201d a verse in which Jesus Christ said, \u201cI saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.\u201d The statement, which Jesus said in response to his disciples informing him they were able to perform exorcisms in his name, is considered by some scholars to be a reference to Satan\u2019s original fall from heaven. Others, however, interpret it to be a description of Satan\u2019s kingdom crumbling with the spread of the gospel.<\/p>\n<p>As 18th-century biblical commentator Matthew Henry wrote of the passage:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"19\">\n<p><em>Satan and his kingdom fell before the preaching of the gospel. \u201cI see how it is,\u2019\u2019 saith Christ, \u201cas you get ground the devil loseth ground.\u2019\u2019 He falls as lightning falls from heaven, so suddenly, so irrecoverably, so visibly, that all may perceive it, and say, \u201cSee how Satan\u2019s kingdom totters, see how it tumbles.\u2019\u2019 They triumphed in casting devils out of the bodies of people; but Christ sees and rejoices in the fall of the devil from the interest he has in the souls of men, which is called his power in high places, Eph. 6:12.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Related<\/strong>: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/get-rid-of-it-lil-nas-x-tells-pregnant-fan-to-get-abortion-then-taunts-pro-life-group-about-it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u2018Get Rid Of It\u2019: Lil Nas X Tells Fan To Get Abortion, Then Taunts Pro-Life Group About It<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
