Athletic shoe maker Nike Inc on Monday sued a New York-based company that produced 'Satan Shoes' purported to contain a drop of human blood as part of a collaboration with 'Old Town Road' rapper Lil Nas X.

LOS ANGELES - Athletic shoe maker Nike Inc on Monday sued a New York-based company that produced “Satan Shoes” purported to contain a drop of human blood as part of a collaboration with “Old Town Road” rapper Lil Nas X.

The shoes are customized Nike Air Max 97 sneakers that contain red ink and “one drop of human blood” in the sole, according to a website describing the 666 pairs of limited edition shoes. The back of one shoe says “MSCHF” and the other says “Lil Nas X.” Nike, in its lawsuit filed in federal court in New York, said the shoes were produced “without Nike’s approval and authorization,” and the company was “in no way connected with this project.”

LilNasX Well done Nike!!

LilNasX People: Racist propaganda needs to be cancelled!!! If you dont agree, you're racist!!! What? I cant use satanic images? That's not fair and you're suppressing our right to freedom of expression. Yeah... that's our world...

LilNasX Oh,

LilNasX And it is written that the four horsemen of the apocalypse did weareth overpriced shoes createth by a person whose career needed a boost and did decideth to dupe the gullible of the land to buy them and so the gates of hell wereth opened to great beeping of cash machines!!!

LilNasX The devil makes burning in hell look cool but in reality it is far from that...

LilNasX How can you run an estimated $200 million company and not think to present your ideas to your lawyers before following through? It’s so painfully obvious that Nike would sue them, did no one on staff realize that?

LilNasX If 'LilNasX' really thinks he has Satan Shoes, let him try walking through fire.

LilNasX Eh. This will never be as cool as KISS giving blood to make their own comic book. KISSArmy

LilNasX They act like this is the first time this has been done. For crying out loud its one drop. How soon they forget.

LilNasX My principle objection is that they’re just stupid.

LilNasX Is it illegal to customize a branded car and resell it? Im not sure how I see this as different?

LilNasX Don't use trademarked logos. Business 101

LilNasX We have 1.5 gallons of blood, who gives a shit about one drop?

LilNasX Stupid idea anyways..

LilNasX Most tryhard shit I have seen in a long time. Is he 12?

LilNasX

LilNasX Who does the blood belong to? Is it random people's blood or is it Lil' Nas?

LilNasX Pretty good publicity stunt. Everyone wants these shoes and his news album drop. Pocket change compared to the prize! 🤑

LilNasX This one tweet has provided me with so many additions to my muted words list.

LilNasX Lol this is going to terrify the lovers of faith and metaphor. Never a dull moment on this planet

LilNasX Not that we don't understand creativity. But we try to temper just with our creative minds. We do not condemn you Nas, but these one we don't want. And we don't want our kids to emulate this too.

LilNasX We understand LilNasX wants to be controversial,but it's not conducive to society to go blood and satan. Common even him knows their are purposes to creation. So tell us what these your purpose serves?

LilNasX We all have different thoughts in our hearts,but we must seperate what can corrupt society with what we intend doing. Do you o5ut human blood in a wrist watch? Or balm the dead and erect them in their homes? It's smart to be creative,but learn not be over trapped in it.

LilNasX Who cares? How is that worst than fucktedcruz lockupgaetz racistfascistsjimjordan, retrumplicans?

LilNasX When maniacs take over design,it becomes messy.Silly and irrelevant.I don't know how a person could sit down, put real human blood, satan knows where they got the human blood from,and call it satan for our kids to wear? So are humans moving to create cloths with human blood?Silly

LilNasX A friend of mine managed to get a pair for me, even it was 2 sizes larger than what I wear. Eventually I'll be auctioning it for charity.

LilNasX End of the world as we know, should come with all signs.

LilNasX Feel happy making money from home on despite this whole pandemic, I kept making money every week thanks to you wilhelmdenis1 Get your BTC and DM the account manager wilhelmdenis1

LilNasX I don't believe this.... outrageous

LilNasX Why didn't Nike sue MSCHF when they customized and sold 'Jesus Shoes' and left the Nike logo?

LilNasX

LilNasX Most likely they didn't even consulted ChurchofSatan about prudence over the use (missuse in this case) of satanic iconography.

Nike, bloody factories in South Asia

So they use a black man to market Satan🙄

Yakında insan derisinden ayakkabı yapar bunlar!

if Nike say Pay up you pay up big

I have been trading and have had many experience but I have gained more ever since I meet marydamron142 I have made profit of 10k for the past 1weeks with a Investmet of 1100 and I have access to my account,thanks to marydamron142

Sudden collector obsession

Good for Nike, this is disgusting. Do you allow this into your home or head ?

blood sucker

Do people realize how much free advertising this is getting

A drop of blood in the shoes could be a metaphor Lil Nas X used to bring to the fore the pathetic conditions the company's workers are subjected to in the workplace.

So many bitcon traders on Twitter are trickster AMELIMARKD thank you for opening my eyes to their ways now I’m pretty sure I’ll be able to help others

Wouldn’t they be more like Vampire shoes? And why is Nike suing them? Are they scared these new staples of every devil worshiper will outshine their sales, because I’m not seeing any infringement...unless Nike already makes satan shoes with blood and its theft of a trade secret🤔

Good. ShareLove

I’m no genius, but in our world of ours now, what makes you think you could’ve gotten away with it That’s just plain stupidity! Go get um NIKE!!

Whose blood tho?

Yep. Great PR stunt.

Nike is just mad they got caught supporting evil and stocks dropped so hard they'll feel it 10 years from now and consumers vowed to not buy nike products ever again.

But why did they rip Nike off? Why couldn’t they do their own shoe? It feels like a PR thing. They knew Nike wouldn’t let this go.

wow

Nasty.

Good for Nike. You should be able to determine how your intellectual property is used.

I first had doubts when I registered and invested money in forex trade with marydamron142 but finally I find it real and legit after i was able to withdraw my profit into my bitcoin wallet in just 7 days after my trade expiration. Thank you Ms marydamron142

These shoes sold out after few minutes

4 embedded advertisment windows, a video that automatically plays in the background and a pop-up: are you sure you're 0k Reuters?

Wut?

Come on guys. Now you don't have to sell your soul. Embrace it.😈

I hope the Republicans reading Dr. Seuss books for the last month will stand up and stop Satan Shoes from being cancelled.

So they gonna sue the company that made the Jesus Air Max in 2019?

Oh please. Theyre jealous

good job

I get that Nike is upset that ppl think Nike made these & it hurts their brand. But I don't understand 'copyright infringement' bc ppl modify and resell brand-name products all the time.

I hope Nike cleans up in this suit.

It’s not their fault that people are too stupid to do the research. It doesn’t take much to find out that Nike wasn’t affiliated with the release.

Lmfaooo good luck Nike. If you sue one 3rd party you'll have to sue another.

Can't sue for transformative work.
