# Turn “walking on water” into a shoe.

MSCHF — broader reference

## The actual move
MSCHF’s Jesus Shoes project puts the religious walking-on-water reference into a modified sneaker.

## Why it makes the cut
An idiom becomes a physical product premise instead of a tagline.

## Analysis
The shoe gives the metaphor a location: beneath the wearer’s foot. The literalization is memorable, although provocation is doing part of the work.

## Limits
An MSCHF customization, not an official Nike collaboration.
