It\u2019s been quite a few days for sneakers, Satan and the artist Lil Nas X.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It started with a recently released music video that sees the 21-year-old of\u00a0Old Town Road<\/em>\u00a0fame give the devil a lap dance, which resulted in the\u00a0Grammy\u00a0winner exchanging disses with a sitting US governor who took issue with the seductive clip and began tweeting Bible verses at him.<\/p>\n

\"Nike-sues-company-for-Satan-Shoe-collaboration-with-rapper-rapidnews\"<\/p>\n

Then, the announcement that the rapper would collaborate with a Brooklyn company to make 666 pairs of \u201cSatan Shoes\u201d\u2014 black Nike Air Max 97s customised to feature a bronze pentagram, a Bible verse referring to Satan\u2019s fall and a drop of human blood mixed with red ink in the midsole \u2014 resulted Monday as many great American tales do: with a lawsuit.<\/p>\n

Nike is suing MSCHF Product Studio, the eccentric company that linked up with Lil Nas X to create the shoe, for trademark infringement and dilution, saying in a statement to AFP that \u201cthe Satan Shoes were produced without Nike\u2019s approval or authorisation, and Nike is in no way connected with this project.\u201d<\/p>\n

In federal court documents, Nike alleges that the release has prompted boycott calls against them from offended consumers, who erroneously associate the sneaker giant with the bloody soled-shoes due to their trademark swoosh symbol.<\/p>\n

The shoes sold out almost instantly after dropping Monday, going for $1,018 a pair. The sale is a follow-up to MSCHF\u2019s \u201cJesus Shoes\u201d \u2014 white Nike Air Max 97s, which contained holy water in the sole.<\/p>\n

Nike did not sue over that product line.<\/p>\n

Devilish music video<\/h2>\n

Lil Nas X\u2019s collaboration on the shoes comes as he released his devilish music video for his new song\u00a0Montero (Call Me By Your Name)<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 a song whose title appears to refer to the novel and film\u00a0Call Me By Your Name<\/em>, about a summer romance between two men.<\/p>\n

In the lusty clip, the rapper born Montero Lamar Hill celebrates his sexuality and queerness \u2014 the artist came out in 2019 \u2014 pole dancing in stilettos down to Hell to twerk on the Devil.<\/p>\n

The song, its accompanying video and the sneakers triggered pearl-clutching among many conservatives \u2014 including the governor of the state of South Dakota.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur kids are being told that this kind of product is, not only okay, it\u2019s \u2018exclusive.\u2019 But do you know what\u2019s more exclusive? Their God-given eternal soul. We are in a fight for the soul of our nation. We need to fight hard. And we need to fight smart. We have to win,\u201d Kristi Noem tweeted Sunday.<\/p>\n

A meme king adept at Twitter trolling, Lil Nas X replied with a number of barbs mocking the outcry, along with a more to-the-point message: \u201cur a whole governor and u on here tweeting about some damn shoes. do ur job!\u201d<\/p>\n

He has continued to use the lawsuit to channel attention towards his song \u2014 though in a more earnest message, he wrote \u201ci\u2019ll be honest all this backlash is putting an emotional toll on me. i try to cover it with humor but it\u2019s getting hard.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy anxiety is higher than ever,\u201d Lil Nas X wrote, before returning to brand.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd stream call me by your name on all platforms now!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
