Lil Nas X runs NYC Half Marathon in Coach high-top sneakers after failing to secure appropriate shoes

Lil Nas X teamed up with Coach in December 2023 to drop a limited edition Y2K-inspired collection.

The line included pieces from the Coach Winter 2023 collection, such as brightly colored shearling coats, bags, shoes that featured graphics inspired by the performer’s tour merchandise, his pet cat and his zodiac sign, Aries.

The “Sun Goes Down” singer became a Coach ambassador in 2022 and wore custom designs from the brand, including numerous skirts, during his “Long Live Montero” tour.

“I was really nervous about going out on stage in front of my family and everybody in my cute, little Coach skirt,” he told People in October 2022. “But as soon as I walked out, I felt like I was setting my younger self free.

“Afterwards, my family — a lot of whom used to believe in everything opposite to what’s up on that stage — told me they were really proud. I feel like I’m changing some minds.”
