Nike and public response

Nike reported these shoes to the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York. The company said that it didn’t approved the cutomization made by MSCHF. Nike also asked the Court to stop the art collective from selling the shoes and using the company’s Swoosk mark.

The sport shoes giant declared that people may think that the “Satan Shoes” were a Nike product. The company wanted to differentiate itself from the art collective’s work. And sure enough, people started to boycott Nike because they believed that the sport giant approved the MSCHF shoes.

Some Conservatives and some religious followers condemned Lil Nas X and MSCHF for the “satanic” shoes.

Lil Nas X didn’t reply to the critics. Instead, he tweeted several memes of Conservatives and Nike on his Twitter profile.
