Lil Nas X's 'Satan Shoes' collaboration sells out in less than a minute, Nike files lawsuit

Lil Nas X had one hell of a morning — and afternoon.

EW has confirmed that the rapper's "Satan Shoes," a collaboration with NYC art collective MSCHF on a custom design for Nike Air Max 97s, sold out Monday in less than a minute.

The controversial sneakers were released as part of the rollout of his long-awaited single "Montero (Call Me by Your Name)," which has a music video that features Lil Nas X sliding down a stripper pole to hell to seduce and then kill the devil.

The black shoes feature a bronze pentagram, have "Luke 10:18" along the sides, and contain one drop of human blood per pair. Fittingly, 666 pairs were made, with each shoe being individually numbered, all for a price tag of $1,018.


Although sales were brisk, the other shoe was quick to drop.

Nike confirmed Monday afternoon in a statement to EW that it "filed a trademark infringement and dilution complaint against MSCHF today related to the Satan Shoes." The company added, "We don't have any further details to share on pending legal matters. However, we can tell you we do not have a relationship with Lil Nas X or MSCHF. The Satan Shoes were produced without Nike's approval or authorization, and Nike is in no way connected with this project."

I fully expected preachers, especially the white, conservative, evangelical ones to respond like that.

I would also add this, BGOL has many members who would probably consider themselves to be atheists, agnostics or nonbelievers, so this imagery probably doesn't affect you because you have no belief in Satan, which is your right but I would also say that nobody on BGOL is a supporter of the LGBT community and your opposition to them is not rooted in religion, it's rooted in your own beliefs and opinions.

I'm not exactly tripping (not saying you are) if religious folks go off on this, I fully expect people to denounce this shit.

What do you mean coming out too early? Is BGOL not aware that he had a whole ass Nicky Minaj fan page before he blew up? That is what he was known for and it was extremely clear he was gay then.

Nike settles lawsuit against company that produced Lil Nas X "Satan Shoes"
By Victoria Albert

April 8, 2021 / 8:30 PM / CBS News

Nike announced Thursday that it has settled its lawsuit against MSCHF, the company that collaborated with Lil Nas X to produce the controversial "Satan Shoes." MSCHF will issue a voluntary recall of the shoes as a condition of the settlement, Nike said.


The "Satan Shoes" are modified versions of Nike's Air Max 97, and each pair features a bronze pentagram charm, an inverted cross and one drop of human blood, according to the company. Even with a $1,018 price tag — a reference to the Bible passage Luke 10:18, which reads, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven" — the 665 pairs of shoes sold out minutes after they were released in late March.

The company initially planned a giveaway for the 666th pair, but Nike filed a lawsuit soon after the shoes were released, alleging that they violated its trademark and damaged its brand. The company said the shoes were "likely to cause confusion and dilution and create an erroneous association between MSCHF's products and Nike."




"As a direct and proximate result of MSCHF's wrongful acts, Nike has suffered, continues to suffer, and/or is likely to suffer damage to its trademarks, business reputation, and goodwill that money cannot compensate," according to the lawsuit.

An image provided by Nike's attorneys in the lawsuit show differences between the original Air Max 97 and the modified version. Nike
Days later, Nike obtained a temporary restraining order blocking MSCHF from fulfilling any additional orders. MSCHF's lawyers said more than 600 orders had been filled by the time the restraining order was approved.

In announcing the settlement, Nike said MSCHF has agreed to initiate a voluntary recall of the shoes. The company also agreed to a voluntary recall for its "Jesus Shoes," a pair of Nikes the company sold in 2019 that apparently had holy water added to the soles.

MSCHF will buy back both types of shoes at their original retail prices "in order to remove them from circulation," Nike said.

"If any purchasers were confused, or if they otherwise want to return their shoes, they may do so for a full refund," the company said. "Purchasers who choose not to return their shoes and later encounter a product issue, defect, or health concern should contact MSCHF, not Nike."

The shoes, which were first released the day after Palm Sunday, were tied to the release of Lil Nas X's new song "MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)." In the song's music video, the 21-year-old rapper attempts to seduce the devil after falling from the Garden of Eden.

According to MSCHF, each shoe contains about 2 fluid ounces of red ink and "one drop" of human blood in the sole. MSCHF
Lil Nas X, who was not named as a defendant in the lawsuit, released a series of tweets after the lawsuit was filed, including a "SpongeBob SquarePants" meme of a character begging for money with the caption "me after the Nike lawsuit." The rapper has not commented publicly on the settlement.


An attorney for MSCHF said the company was "pleased" with the settlement, and that it believes it successfully made a statement about "the absurdity of the collaboration culture practiced by some brands, and about the perniciousness of intolerance," and promoted equality and inclusion.

"The artistic messages MSCHF hoped to share with these shoes were also powerfully communicated through Lil Nas X's music video 'Montero (Call Me By Your Name),' and were dramatically amplified by the Nike lawsuit, which brought extraordinary publicity to MSCHF and its works of art," the attorney added.

"... Having already achieved its artistic purpose, MSCHF recognized that settlement was the best way to allow it to put this lawsuit behind it so that it could dedicate its time to new artistic and expressive projects," the attorney said.

What if folks don't want to send them back, which is going to be a likely scenario NOW? Voluntary recall? :lol:
I assume that Nike is simply flexing to make a point and to deter this shit in the future.

Fame means more to Dave now. Hip hop has gone so far from its roots, Nas X is arguably realer than Dave. Peace, Love, Unity and Having Fun. He did the same hybrid RUNDMC shit. It had a trap feel to it plus he broke barriers by having Billy Rap Cyrus to the track. Dave may have the chops but he's still on some dated formula.

Now THIS is an interesting wrinkle...

what these corporations do publicly mean NOTHING

its what they do behind closed doors what they INVEST in who they DONATE and SUPPORT that matters.

These rainbow flag-waving corporations are backing the sponsors of anti-trans legislation
Judd Legum and Tesnim Zekeria
Apr 126410

Seven members of the North Carolina Senate have introduced draconian anti-trans legislation targeting children, adults, and medical professionals. An investigation by Popular Information reveals that these legislators have received hundreds of thousands of dollars from corporations that purport to be champions of LGBTQ rights and equality.
There have been more than 100 anti-trans bills introduced in statehouses across the country, according to a database maintained by the ACLU. But S514, introduced this month in North Carolina, is notably extreme:
1. S514 bans anyone under the age of 21 from receiving gender-affirming treatment, including reversible hormone therapy. This provision would impact children under the age of 18 as well as young adults. It would force doctors to stop therapy in the middle of treatment, regardless of the impact on the patient. Dr. Deanna Wilson Adkins, director of Child and Adolescent Gender Care at the Duke University School of Medicine, said this could have a "devastating" impact on the children in her care. Adkins noted that most "most minors with gender dysphoria don't need or qualify for treatment with gender-affirming or cross-sex hormones." Minors that receive hormone treatment do so only after a consensus is reached "by a team of medical experts, mental health experts, the patient, and the family."
2. S514 imposes fines on medical professionals who provide gender-affirming treatment to anyone under the age of 21. Doctors and other health care professionals who provide hormone therapy to anyone under the age of 21 would face a fine of $1000 "per occurrence." They would also be considered to have "engaged in unprofessional conduct and shall be subject to revocation of licensure and other appropriate discipline."
3. S514 requires government employees, including teachers, to report children who demonstrate "gender nonconformity" to their parents. This provision could impact cis and trans children. It could also force teachers to "out" students to their parents before the students are ready. Teachers that fail to do so will be subject to professional "discipline."
4. S514 protects the practice of "conversion" therapy. Conversion therapy is a debunked practice that attempts to change a person's sexual orientation or gender identity. It has been rejected by medical experts for decades.

Kendra R. Johnson, Executive Director of Equality NC, told Popular Information that the bill is an "egregious attack" on the LGBTQ community that "directly undermines access to health care" and sanctions the "policing of gender identity." It targets a vulnerable group of people that "already faces barriers to receive compassionate and culturally competent care."
Yet the sponsors of S514 are supported by corporations that hold themselves out as ardent supporters of LGBTQ rights. For example, Duke Energy, in a company blog post, celebrates National Pride Month and touts the company's "commitment to diversity and inclusion." It highlights the story of an employee who says the company's "position on LGBTQ issues" convinced him to accept a full-time position. "Duke Energy talks the talk and walks the walk," he says.
In a January 2021 press release, Duke Energy touts that it provides "equal health coverage for transgender individuals." The release says that the company's 500 member "LGBTQ Equality employee resource group" is "supported by the company’s senior leadership."
The company also touts its commitment to LGBT equality on Twitter:
