International sportswear company Nike has filed a suit against the over Lil Nas X’s Satan’s shoes.
The custom Air Max 97s containing a drop of real human blood has been criticised by Christians and Nike, but Lil Nas X doesn’t seem bothered by either.
He even shared an apology video on YouTube which only turned out to be the official video of his song Montero (Call Me By Your Name).
In the legal document obtained by US media, Nike on Monday sued MSCHF, a small Brooklyn-based company, over its sale of the 666 pairs of its altered shoes in collaboration with the rapper Lil Nas X.
According to the sportswear company, MSCHF infringed on its trademark and is in an unfair competition and engaging in false distribution.
“COMPLAINT FOR: (1) Trademark Infringement in Violation of 15 U.S.C. § 1114 (2) False Designation of Origin / Unfair Competition in Violation of 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a) (3) Trademark Dilution in Violation of 15 U.S.C. § 1125(c) (4) Common Law Trademark Infringement and Unfair Competition”, the suit began.
