MSCHF x INRI x Nike Air Max 97 “Jesus Shoes” – Walk on Water

The MSCHF x INRI x Nike Air Max 97 “Jesus Shoes” redefines sneaker culture with a literal twist on the phrase “walk on water.” Conceived and engineered by Brooklyn-based creative agency MSCHF, this custom Nike Air Max 97 is filled with 60cc of holy water sourced from the River Jordan and blessed by a priest in Brooklyn.

The shoe features a pristine blue-tinged mesh upper with white leather overlays, accented by a gold crucifix lace jewel. Branding details include MSCHF on the left heel tab and ‘INRI’ on the right tab (Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum), with a subtle reference to Matthew 14:25—the biblical chapter and verse recounting Jesus’ walk on water. This one-of-a-kind collaboration blends faith, art, and fashion in a truly iconic release.
