Is Nike Producing ‘Satan Shoes’ With Lil Nas X?

Viral social media posts in the past few days have claimed that Nike is producing a limited edition run of “Satan shoes,” which incorporate demonic imagery and real human blood into the design. 

The more bizarre elements of these claims are actually correct: The shoes are real and they do indeed contain drops of human blood in the soles, with members of the design team behind the shoes serving as the donors. But while the shoes bear the Nike logo, Nike had nothing to do with their design or creation.
