Lil Nas X, best known for his hit ‘Old Town Road’, launched 666 pairs of his ‘Satan Shoes’ on Monday, all of which sold out immediately. The sneakers caused a stir on social media because of the references to the devil. Besides the fact that there is a drop of human blood in the sole, there is also a Bible text about satan embroidered on the shoe. The rapper is said to have designed the sneaker as a result of his new single ‘Montero’.

Because an existing Nike model was modified for the sneakers, the sports brand was also criticized. Nike immediately announced that it has nothing to do with the sneakers and has now decided to take steps.

According to Nike, MSCHF Product Studio is infringing Nike’s trademark with the shoes. The famous logo, the so-called Swoosh, is still clearly visible. The sports brand therefore demands compensation.
