Nike Sues MSCHF Over Lil Nas X “Satan Shoes,”
Lil Nas X and MSCHF drop Satan-themed Nike shoes that feature a drop of human blood.
To promote the video for his latest song, called “Montero (Call Me by Your Name),” Lil Nas X teamed up with the offbeat Brooklyn brand MSCHF to drop Satan-themed sneakers in a limited run of 666. Each pentagram-adorned shoe also features a single drop of human blood, which is mixed in with ink that fills an air bubble in the sneaker. Nike immediately distanced itself from the drop and sued MSCHF for trademark infringement shortly thereafter (we’re also sure the Consumer Product Safety Commission has a thing or two to say about potential biohazard concerns). Lil Nas X doesn’t seem to be remorseful: he ethered his haters on Twitter and posted a YouTube video called “Lil Nas X Apologies for Satan Shoe” that immediately cuts to a sexually charged scene from the video in which rapper gyrates on Satan’s lap.
