Didn't he say use your money on expensive shoes instead of giving them to the poor ? I believe it was in the book of Jordans. "Verily I say unto you, no man shall enter the club of my father lest he wear upon his feet shoes of gold and of hides of cloven beast [leather]." They were very specific though no price point is mentioned. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had other ideas too Quote MSCHF employees pitched different shoe concepts — sneakers with a holy nail and fake blood https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/1425-jesus-shoes-filled-with-holy-water-sell-out-in-1-minute-flat-201812981.html? HOLY NAIL? Jeeze! Where did they think they would get that from? Might as well go the whole hog and put a lock of Jesus's hair. At least they admit the blood is fake. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because someone's making a sweet dime off cheap dressed up shoes. Guess it's a matter of perspective. Dumb for the customer, genius of the marketer. I dont see it any different then a painting or sculpture. Probably some people will put the shoes on a plinth in their living room, to showcase for friends to envy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine would be fly fishing gear, particularly vintage owned by folks like Kreh or Gierach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with @Torviking How stupid and wasteful those shoes and many other idiotic "collectibles" are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stiff Posted October 21, 2019 #35 Share Posted October 21, 2019 These adidas have been out for a long time now and even have Jesus embroidered onto the tongue. Not quite as blasphemous as the Nike's but they're in similar vein. Plus - everyone knows Jesus was a huge Adi fan over Nike... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stiff Posted October 21, 2019 #36 Share Posted October 21, 2019 But these are the ACTUAL ones that Jesus rolled with back in the day, straight from the tomb. These are the serious collectors' 'Holy Grail' of shoes. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know the Romans practiced cross fit, although it wasn't quite like todays version. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
