Let's try this:

The fact that idiot's put fart-mufflers on Mustang's doesn't make it Ford's fault.


Do you really think that Nike cares what you (or some rapper) does with their shoes after they are sold?

Changing something on a ford mustang after u buy it is one thing. But buying nikes and then changing them and remarketing them is totally different. Anyone with half a brain knows this. If Nike didnt want this happening, they would have filed a lawsuit within seconds.... Nike may not be directly involved but they damn well approved this.......

Ask yourself that question. Open your horizons. Besides, I’m not guilty of what you posted. You just made it up out of thin air.

Nike and MSCHF aren't partners. The collab is between a viral marketing company and LNX to create shoes that will capitalize on the buzz tied to the video LNX released which featured him seducing and replacing Satan. And it certainly triggered your enlightened, open horizons as you swallow the bait and spread the word.

Custom Air Max 97's happen all the time. You not being aware of it isn't shocking. Nike didn't design them, didn't endorse them, and didn't release them. They sold a stock product that someone else customized and are selling for $1,018 a pair.

Nike has gone on record stating that they don't endorse them. They don't have to file a C&D to not support them. Even if they did you'd find an issue with that too.

And MSCHF is the same team that did the Jesus shoes.

Nike could demand they take the swoosh of the shoe. It’s their brand. I haven’t bought Nike shoes in over 30yrs. They are undersized. Which means I would have to go to at least a size 14. Anyways, I don’t follow Nike shoe models. I simply don’t care what models they make. Although I thought their Betsy Ross shoe was nice. But they listened to Colin Kapeornick and cancelled them. Go figure.

Not a bitch at all. Those are your words. I simply asked questions. What’s Nikes next hot shoe coming out? Keep me up to date. Are you on the wait list for Lil Nas’s masterpiece? Or are they only going to important people?

If nike didnt want this shoe being marketed they have the legal right to stop it. It doesn't take a genius to figure that out.... hence they approved the marketing of it.

That’s been my point all along. Some people are a little dense I guess.

They do have that right and they just may send them a C&D. But there are potential defenses.

This shit just got announced the other day, and the furor and hype around them is driving up demand. If Nike goes hard at them, any that make it into the market will resell for oodles and oodles of dollars.

I’m sure Nike knew about it before the project started. They could have nixed it then. They chose not to. Speaks volumes. Nike obviously doesn’t care. They’ve catered to Kapeornick, they’ve alienated people before. They don’t shy away from controversy. Maybe one day it will backfire on them. I’ll give you credit for moving in the right direction.

A follow up

Nike denies any collaboration after the shoes sold out. They didn’t say they disapprove. They went along with this grift on the holiest week of the year. Shameful.

I guess the heat just became too much for Nike

Now they are trying to save face by suing the maker of Nike's Satan Shoes

Yes, this little grift backed fired. Nike new this was going on but decided until after the release until they filed suit. Lil Nas will get more publicity from this stunt than his “music”. Nike got publicity too. Mission accomplished.
