Nike is suing “Lil Nas X” over his controversial “satan shoes”. These shoes allegedly contain one drop of human blood in the soles. They went on sale last week for $1,018 per pair. Only 666 pairs were made available and sold out in under a minute after going on sale.

According to Nike, the shoes are unofficial designs of Nike’s trademark Air Max 97 design, but Nike claims that they had no involvement in the creation of the shoes.

The shoes drew a lot of attention and plenty of criticism. Kristi Noem, the Governor of South Dakota, said that, “our kids are being told that this kind of product, is not only ok, it’s exclusive”.

“We don’t have further details to share on pending legal matters. However, we can tell you, we do not have a relationship with Lil Nas X or MSCHF. The Satan Shoes were produced without Nike’s approval or authorization, and Nike is in no way connected to this project”, Nike told Fox in an official statement.
