The NYC Half Marathon, organized in Brooklyn, New York, has swept the internet because of the star-studded participant lineup. The city was on high alert as the runners crossed the streets, and after an hour of a competitive run, the winners were crowned. Lil Nas X, the acclaimed American rapper and songwriter, is a notable figure making waves after the half marathon.

The ‘Industry Baby’ singer was spotted taking selfies with the spectators, flooding social media with images. Few such pictures of him have piqued the interest of his fans, sparking discussions and concerns among them.

Lil Nas X is doing his own thing

Joe Hale shared some snippets of Nas from the marathon on his X handle and wrote, “@LilNasX in the hightops for 13.1.” The 24-year-old Georgia native ran across the NYC streets donning green tees paired with black joggers and white Coach high-top sneakers on the bottom. His unconventional choice of footwear caused a stir, as he opted for a flashy style rather than an orthodox pair of running spikes and it reflected his persona as a rapper.

It was reported that the Grammy-winning star finished the race in 2 hours and 44 minutes. After the race was done and dusted, Nas was caught on camera chilling with his fans. The Rapper did not look like he was exhausted after that tiring run, which is quite an inspiration for all the track and field enthusiasts out there. However, his white sneakers have caught the attention of his fans; they seem a bit worried about Lil Nas X.

Fans are raising their concern for their idol

As soon as the pictures went viral, people started to spam the comment sections of the post with their views on Lil Nas X’s choice. One fan stated that he would have sustained an injury if he ran in those shoes, as he wrote, “My shins would explode.”

Another fan curiously questioned the reason and rationale for choosing those shoes and humorously wrote, “Asked him what shoes those were… Some random pair of Coach shoes I always exercise in, so I decided why not.”

One other fan took a dig at the rapper and tagged Citius Mag to help him with shoes and commented “@CitiusMag help this man!!”

The reaction “These high tops definitely look like they can’t ride no more. Wonder what kinda training mileage he got out of them” amusingly speculated about the condition of Lil Nas X’s high-top shoes, implying that they may be in no condition to be worn anymore.

A fan expressed his empathy and discomfort at the thought of running a half marathon in those shoes and wrote, “This hurts my feet just looking at it.”

Nonetheless, Lil Nas X, being his confident self, finished the race in those funky sneakers without getting much worried about what would follow next. These comments from the fans are a testament to the fame and love the rapper has garnered from his fans.
