  • Lil Nas X's shoe - made with one drop of human blood - sold out in under one minute.
  • Brooklyn-based company MSCHF, which made the shoes, confirmed the news to Insider.
  • The shoe knocks off the Nike Air Max 97, but Nike said it does not endorse the shoe.

Singer Lil Nas X's "Satan Shoe" - made with one drop of human blood - sold out in under a minute, the company told Insider.

Brooklyn-based startup MSCHF released the shoe on March 26, and said each one individually numbered 666 pairs would contain 60cc ink and one drop of human blood. The company released the 666 shoes for $1,018 each, as a nod to the Bible verse $4: "So He told them, 'I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.'"

MSCHF co-founder Daniel Greenberg confirmed the shoe sold out in under a minute, but did not reveal whether the release was the company's most profitable. At the listed price, the release adds up to nearly $700,000 in sales.

The shoe knocks off the Nike Air Max 97, but Nike had no involvement in the shoe.

"We do not have a relationship with Little Nas X or MSCHF. Nike did not design or release these shoes, and we do not endorse them," Nike said in a statement to $4.

Greenberg told the Times six team members gave up blood to go into the collaboration with Lil Nas X.
