A federal judge on Thursday sided with Nike Inc in ordering a Brooklyn company to temporarily stop further sales of"Satan Shoes" it produced in collaboration with the rapper Lil Nas X.
U.S. District Judge Eric Komitee in Brooklyn ruled three days after Nike sued MSCHF Product Studio Inc, claiming that the black-and-red, devil-themed sneakers, which carry the Nike"swoosh" logo, infringed its trademarks.The sneakers are customized versions of the Nike Air Max 97 sneakers that purport to contain one drop of human blood in the midsoles, and are printed with"Luke 10:18," a biblical passage referring to Satan's fall from heaven.
Lawyers for Nike and MSCHF had no immediate comment or did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
