Brooklyn-based brand called MSCHF made a thousand-dollar pair of Nikes that have been dubbed the Jesus Shoe.
Apparently, these Nike Air Max 97s are decked out with 60 ccs of holy water sourced straight from the River Jordan and injected into the soles (so you can literally walk on water like Him), a crucifix, red insoles to call back to Vatican traditions, and a Matthew 14:25 inscription.
Theyre also scented with frankincense, which, according to the Book of Matthew, was one of the gifts the wise men brought to Jesus on the night of his birth. They truly thought of everything here.
The shoes were originally $1,425 but are all sold out now and going for up to eight times the price for those who slept on them when they first went on sale. (There are select sizes available for $2K or $3K though.) In the words of Hailey Baldwin, Lord have mercy!

In that light, every $3000 an Evangelical Christian spends on a pair of Nikes with holy water in the soles is $3000 they cant send to the Trump campaign.
