Lil Nas X's 'Satan Shoes' are just the latest stunt for off-kilter company MSCHF.

The company, puckishly blurring the lines between the cheeky and the morbid, previously drew attention with an app that chooses stocks based on your astrological sign, a bath bomb shaped like a toaster and an item called Puff the Squeaky Chicken — a chicken-shaped bong that squeaks when you smoke it.

MSCHF is not exactly an e-commerce platform, though. It might be just as fitting to describe it as an experimental art project or the ultimate anti-brand. It churns out some novelty items that would not be out of place at stores like Urban Outfitters even as it skewers that very idea.Business Insider in January

"Satan Shoes," however, might also be here to help promote a new track. The release of the customized sneakers coincides with the debut of Lil Nas X's latest single,"Montero ," and an accompanying music video that uses religious imagery to depict the artist's coming-out story.

This is a helluva idea... screw Nike and contract with whatever child sweatship they use to make your own brand. Guaranteed seller.

Selling ones soul to the devil.

I hope it fully triggers anyone who actually believes in sky pixies or ground trolls.

No-one actually believes in the Devil, though... right? I mean no grown ups

The corporate oligarchs and their minions aren't even hiding their satanism anymore.

MSCHF, company behind Lil Nas X's Satan Shoes, has history of controversial productsWhile many were outraged by the most recent shoe design, this is not the first time MSCHF has stirred up controversy with their custom designs. It's hard to say where the line is crossed when it comes to art and fashion. But it certainly feels like this might be a case. I'm not sure what should/could be done. It is unsettling at the least. But maybe that was the goal...? Well Lil Nas and MSCHF are going to go straight to hell for those shoes. Yup, they are on that highway to hell. But do they say '6 million wasn't enough'? Cause there's nothing more disturbing than that.
