Nike Sues MSCHF Over Lil Nas X “Satan Shoes” Project

author

Art collective MSCHF is being sued by Nike over their “Satan Shoes“. The shoes in question are a pair of Nike Air Max 97s customized by the MSCHF team in collaboration with artist Lil Nas X and feature a mixture of 60cc red ink and a single drop of human blood inside the midsole Air unit. 666 numbered pairs were released, each retailing for $1,018 and promptly selling out early this morning.

While Nike often turns a blind-eye to customs of their products, this particular release has been drawing the ire of many online who believe these to be an official Nike project. Furthermore, similar to last year’s debacle over designer Warren Lotas’ Dunk lookalikes, MSCHF has made a substantial profit off this controversial release.

Further details and updates regarding the lawsuit to follow as they become available.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
