The “Jesus Shoes” are a custom-designed sneaker based on the Nike Air Max 97, created in 2019 by the Brooklyn art collective MSCHF.

🔹 Key Features

  • Holy water soles: The visible Air bubble is filled with water said to be sourced from the Jordan River
  • Crucifix detail: A small cross attached to the laces
  • Religious inscriptions: Includes Bible verse Matthew 14:25 (Jesus walking on water)
  • Premium materials: Wool insoles scented with frankincense
  • Colorway: Clean white/silver base for a “heavenly” aesthetic

🔹 Price & Release

  • Originally retailed around $1,425 USD
  • Extremely limited — about 24 pairs made
  • Sold out instantly and now resell for much higher

🔹 Cultural Impact

  • Went viral online for blending streetwear + religion
  • Sparked debate about art, fashion, and symbolism
  • Later inspired MSCHF’s controversial follow-up: the “Satan Shoes”

🔹 Bottom Line

They’re not an official Nike release — more of a luxury art sneaker than a standard product. Highly collectible, rare, and controversial.
