Jesus' sneakers with incense, crucifix and holy water sold for $ 3000 in minutes

Holy saints, how expensive it is! Sneakers from the limited collection, with holy water in the soles and blessed by the priest, were sold out within a few minutes after their release, despite the fact that each pair cost a whopping 3000 dollars.

Brooklyn-based creative label MSCHF has created a shoe that features a pair of crisp white Nike Air Max 97s - although the design is in no way affiliated with Nike - that have been infused with holy water from the Jordan River. The water that is visible in the clear sole has been tinted to improve visualization, said Fox News shoe maker.

The pair of shoes, referred to as the "Jesus Sneakers," reportedly also feature the Bible verse Matthew 14:25, a passage that describes Jesus walking on water, and features a single drop of blood, which represents the blood of Christ. Other religious details include incense-scented insoles, a crucifix threaded through the laces, and a red sole to symbolize the red shoes traditionally worn by past popes. The shoebox also features an angel and a seal very reminiscent of the traditional Pope seal.

The shoes that MSCHF designers bought at Nike's retail chain before remaking it were part of the brand’s desire to play a joke on a collaborative culture.

“We remembered that Arizona Iced Tea and Adidas were teaming up to sell shoes that would advertise the sale of soft drinks in bodegas. “We wanted to make a statement about how absurd collaboration culture is,” commercial director Daniel Greenberg told the New York Post. “We were wondering, what would collaboration with Jesus Christ look like?” - he added.

According to MSCHF, fewer than 20 "Jesus Sneakers" were made, with no plans to create more. Although Gabriel Whaley, the brand's founder, hinted that there could be a "second coming" in the future.

The MSCHF brand releases new products every second and fourth Tuesday of the month.
