Nike is taking legal action against fashion brand MSCHF over their so-called “Satan shoes”, a collaboration with chart-topping musician Lil Nas X.
Nike Launches Legal Action Over Lil Nas X And MSCHF Satan Shoes
Last week, Lil Nas X unveiled his new song Montero (Call Me By Your Name) and its music video, which sees him pole-dancing down to hell where he seduces the devil, eventually killing him and taking over his throne.
The music video sparked a backlash from conservative critics in the US almost immediately, with Lil Nas X revealing his “Satan shoes” collab with MSCHF shortly afterwards.
He can also be seen wearing a pair of the shoes in the final section of the music video, in which he portrays the devil.Only 666 pairs of the shoes – an adapted pair of Nike Air Max 97s – were put on sale last week, featuring a pentagram detail, and the words Luke 10:18, referring to the Bible verse “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.”
MSCHF also claimed the shoes contain “60cc ink and one drop of human blood”. View this post on InstagramA post shared by MSCHF (@mschf)Nike has now begun taking legal action over the shoes, stating in their lawsuit (via BBC News): “MSCHF and its unauthorised Satan Shoes are likely to cause confusion and dilution and create an erroneous association between MSCHF’s products and Nike.
“In fact, there is already evidence of significant confusion and dilution occurring in the marketplace, including calls to boycott Nike in response to the launch of MSCHF’s Satan Shoes, based on the mistaken belief that Nike has authorised or approved this product.”
All 666 pairs of the shoes sold out within a minute of going on sale.MSCHF previously unveiled a line of “Jesus shoes”, which contained a drop of holy water, and were also based on a pair of adapted Nike trainers.
The Guardian has reported that Lil Nas X is not named as a defendant in Nike’s lawsuit.
However, the Rapper and Singer – whose birth name is Montero Lamar Hill – has referenced the lawsuit, sharing a Spongebob Squarepants meme on Monday night.pic.twitter.com/m0R2Fa3dRUhttps://t.co/4sVit8vbKY— nope 🏹 (@LilNasX) March 29, 2021me after the nike lawsuit pic.twitter.com/XVLjHlSrru— nope 🏹 (@LilNasX) March 29, 2021me at nike headquarters tomorrow pic.twitter.com/iAAdjc8Ele— nope 🏹 (@LilNasX) March 29, 2021For the past few days, Lil Nas X has been poking fun at the conservative backlash to his Montero (Call Me By Your Name) music video on social media:LETS FUCKIN GOOOO!

“You see this is very scary for me, people will be angry, they will say I’m pushing an agenda. But the truth is, I am. The agenda to make people stay the fuck out of other people’s lives and stop dictating who they should be.”READ MORE:9 Things You Might Have Missed In Lil Nas X's Stunning Montero (Call Me By Your Name) Video

Mary Trump 'energized' as uncle 'Donald's campaign spirals into chaos'
Mar 29, 2024
Donald Trump's campaign is in chaos, and his niece says she's energized.Mary Trump, the niece of the former president and a psychologist by trade, has previously been critical of her uncle.On Thursday, she said her uncle's failures are adding up.ALSO READ: A neuroscientist reveals how Trump and Biden's cognitive impairments are different"As the RNC’s fundraising falters and Donald’s campaign spirals into chaos, I am energized!" she said in a Substack post.She then continued:"When Donald dominates the news cycle, it’s hard not to feel overwhelmed. Every bad headline has a negative impact. But then I remember something crucial: There’s usually more to the story than meets the eye. I’m determined to cut through the media noise and share with you all the good that happened this week. These are the headlines we need to remain energized and hopeful that the media largely ignored."Mary Trump goes on to highlight President Joe Biden's recent fundraising hauls."President Biden’s $155 million+ war chest has just received another turbo boost, bringing the total of cash on hand to at least $180 million. (By comparison, between his campaign and the RNC, Donald barely has over $50 million — and continues to drain the accounts to cover his absolutely staggering legal expenses)," she wrote. "This is a development that could significantly increase Biden’s ability to influence the narrative in crucial swing states."This, she says, also tells us a lot about voter excitement for Biden."While critics have expressed doubts about the degree to which the Democratic base is fired up as compared to 2020, today’s $25 million fundraiser, raised with donations ranging from $250 to $500,000, should put any doubts to rest — yes, we are absolutely behind President Biden and Vice President Harris and we’re in this fight until the end," she wrote.Read the full post here.
