Disgusting because you don’t like gay people or...?[/quote]

Or it’s such a desperate attempt to drum up interest. Why the hell would someone want blood in their shoes. It’s like when Angelina and Billy Bob wore those vials of blood. It’s not cute. Just gross. [/quote]
They sold out in under a minute so clearly people are interested. There’s nothing desperate about what he’s doing, it’s wildly successful. [/quote]

It’s pretty clear you have no idea about limited editions, sneaker heads, bots, reselling, or the controversy regarding a Nike execs son. [/quote]

I mean...what does that have to do with the fact that PP is right?

Only 666 Satan shoes were commissioned. Lil Nas X's retailer sold them for $1,018/each.

That's $677,988 grossed in one day. The original version of those shoes are sold for $197/each on the Nike site. Let's assume the Lil Nas X retailer paid full price for each pair (doubtful) - that's a cost of $131,202 for 666 pairs.

Now let's assume Nas paid the retailer $50,000 to modify all 666 shoes, add the blood, and host the purchase site.

$677,988 - $131,202 - $50,000 is still a net profit of $496,786.

So so what if a bunch of resellers snatched them up? He still got his $490K.[/quote]

The question wasn’t about his money. Although, now with a lawsuit coming who knows. Him selling out in a minute doesn’t mean people are actually interested. It means sneaker heads like exclusive shoes. It means bots buy shoes in mass with the hope to resell at a higher amount (which Nas wouldn’t see the profit) to sneaker heads and other idiots who are willing to overpay for shoes. [/quote]
