Show Notes:

In 1997, the world was stunned by the mass suicide of 39 members of the Heaven’s Gate cult in San Diego. But one detail stood out in every photo of that tragic scene—the matching black Nike Decade sneakers on each body.

In this episode of Taboo Treasures, we explore how these now-infamous shoes became a dark symbol of the cult’s final ritual. We trace the origins of Heaven’s Gate, led by Marshall Applewhite, the apocalyptic beliefs tied to the Hale-Bopp comet, and the eerie details of that last night—right down to the poisoned applesauce.

🎧 Press play and step inside one of the most disturbing intersections of commerce, culture, and cult history.
