The sneaker company released a statement to Fox News Monday denying any involvement with the sneaker that sold out in under a minute.

“Nike did not design or release these shoes and we do not endorse them,” the company said in a written statement.

The shoes are Nike’s trademark Air Max 97 design, with a drop of human drop contained in the sole of the sneaker. The limited-edition footwear went on sale Monday and retailed for $1,018 per pair. There is a reference to Luke 10:18 which is taken from the Bible that speaks about Satan’s fall from heaven. The sneaker also has a pentagram on it.

Shortly after going on sale, all 666 pairs that were made, sold out immediately. According to Merriam-Webster, 666 is the mark of the beast. “The number 666 is identified as the Number of the Beast as mentioned in the Book of Revelation (13:15–18).”

^“Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.”
