Nike has beaten Satan!
about a week ago I made a post about Lil Nas Z and MSCHF who created 666 pairs of “Satan Shoes”, customized Nike Air Max 97s,all with a drop of human blood in each one, apparently Nike was not amused, "MSCHF
altered these shoes without Nike's authorisation. Nike had nothing to do with
the Satan Shoes or the Jesus Shoes," Nike said in a statement, Nike sued MSCHF last week claiming the "Satan Shoes
[were] likely to cause confusion and dilution and create an erroneous
association" between MSCHF's products and the company. But MSCHF said the
shoes were "individually-numbered works of art" and did not sow
confusion, siding with Nike, a federal judge issued a temporary restraining
order last Thursday, in response David Bernstein, from the intellectual property
litigation group at Debevoise & Plimpton and a representative for MSCHF,
said the artistic messages the collective hoped to convey were "dramatically
amplified" by the lawsuit, "MSCHF intended to comment on the
absurdity of the collaboration culture practiced by some brands, and about the
perniciousness of intolerance," he said in a statement as news of the
settlement emerged, adding that MSCHF was "pleased to have resolved the
lawsuit", however the collective MSCHF will offer full refunds to
customers in order to remove the shoes from circulation, Nike said, for the full story have a look here, 1 - 0 against
Satan it is then.
