Nike said on Thursday that they had settled a lawsuit against the New York City company behind the “Satan Shoes” promoted by Lil Nas X in collaboration with the rapper.
The sneaker giant filed a lawsuit against MSCHF Product Studio last week, accusing the company of infringing on brands over the black and red shoes that use the Nike Air Max 97 as a base. The shoe was fitted with a gold pentagram and a liquid sole that allegedly contained a drop of human blood.
The phrase “Luke 10:18” was affixed to the sneakers – representing a biblical passage referring to Satan’s descent from heaven.
“Having already achieved its artistic goal, MSCHF acknowledged that settlement was the best way to put the lawsuit behind it so that it could devote time to new artistic and expressive projects,” an MSCHF lawyer said in a statement. told Fox News.

The shoes – which cost $ 1,018 per pair – will be recalled. The MSCHF attorneys made 666 pairs, 665 of which were sold and sent to clients before a temporary trial.
In the submission, Nike argued that the shoes were harmful to the brand and that it caused confusion among customers who thought they were created by Nike.
“MSCHF has changed these shoes without Nike’s permission,” Nike said in a statement. “As part of the settlement, Nike has asked MSCHF, and MSCHF has agreed to start a voluntary recall to buy back Satan Shoes and Jesus Shoes for their original retail prices, to remove it from circulation.”
