It Is Official,

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.
