Nike Wins Lawsuit , Against Lil Nas X's 'Satan Shoes' . On March 29, New York-based art collective MSCHF released 666 pairs of the controversial modified Nike Air Max 97s in collaboration with Lil Nas X. That same day, Nike filed a lawsuit claiming trademark infringement. U.S. district Judge Eric Komitee has sided with Nike for the time being, . preventing the $1,018 shoes, which sold out almost instantly, from being shipped to customers. Miley Cyrus was even seen wearing a pair before they went on sale. MSCHF argues that the shoes are "individually numbered works of art.". The judgement will stand until a more in-depth trial is conducted. Lil Nas X attempted to find a loophole by giving away a pair of the shoes but later tweeted he was barred from doing so.
