The brief history
It all started when Lil Nas X released shoes with human blood infused in the sole. However, people were not happy and criticized the artist for his decision. But later on, Tony Hawk partnered with Liquid Death to create something special. The brand collected blood from Hawk and mixed it with some red paint for displaying it on the skateboard. As Hawk received good reviews for this move, Nas X was disappointed and spoke about what he felt about the situation.
“Now that tony hawk has released skateboards with his blood painted on them, and there was no public outrage, are y’all ready to admit y’all were never actually upset over the blood in the shoes?”
