Update: Nike Settles Lawsuit With ‘Satan Shoes’ Creator MSCHF

Updated April 8: Nike said late today it settled its “Satan Shoes” lawsuit with MSCHF Product Studio Inc. The Swoosh filed the trademark infringement lawsuit on March 29 after MSCHF created the shoes in collaboration with Lil Nas X. The settlement includes a voluntary recall. MSCHF will offer full refunds to people who purchased both the “Satan Shoes” as well as its previously launched “Jesus Shoes” to “remove them from circulation,” Nike said. Both styles are based on the Air Max 97. “If any purchasers were confused, or if they otherwise want to return their shoes, they may do so for a full refund. Purchasers who choose not to return their shoes and later encounter a product issue, defect, or health concern should contact MSCHF, not Nike,” Nike said in a statement. The “Satan Shoes” created a social media stir and the dispute was covered by major press from around the world. “In both cases, MSCHF altered these shoes without Nike’s authorization. Nike had nothing to do with the Satan Shoes or the Jesus Shoes,” Nike said in its statement. What We Reported Last Week: Nike Inc. appears to have a win over MSCHF Product Studio Inc., the creator of Lil Nas X’s controversial “Satan Shoes.” According to
