A Complaint was filed by Sportwear giant Nike against MSCHF for
taking orders for its Satan Shoes, which were customized Nike Air
Max 97 shoes, without Nike's approval. MSCHF is an American art
collective based in Brooklyn, New York, United States which
produces a wide range of artworks, ranging from laptops to
sneakers, social media channels and photographs. The defendant
customised Nike's shoes by adding red ink and human blood to
the midsole, adding red embroidered satanic themed detailing,
adding a bronze pentagram to the laces, and adding a new sock
liner. A limited pair of 666 individually numbered shoes were
released. It also had a reference to a verse from the Gospel
of Luke (10:18), which was the reason behind all the backlash it
faced from the public who believed that it was an official
collaboration with Nike.
