Satan Shoes

[RblDiver]

Haven't seen anyone else mention this. It's an interesting story. Rapper Lil Nas X (of "Old Town Road" fame) partnered with some company to make "Satan Shoes." Basically, they got 666 pairs of Nikes, dyed it in different colors (including a drop of blood), put satanic imagery on it, and started selling them the other day. It's something about how he was writing a song to his younger self telling himself to come out earlier, something something.

Anyway, unsurprisingly there was a lot of pushback. Now, Nike has filed a lawsuit against him for copyright infringement and brand dilution.

(I was wondering if the drop of blood'd constitute a health hazard/bioterrorism that should be investigated).

Yawn.

I guess I have more things to worry about in my life right now than somebody selling weird shoes, even if I did like Old Town Road. Sometimes fame causes delusions of grandeur.

It does, however, remind me of the Reebok "Incubus" controversy in the 90's- somebody in marketing forgot to look-up the appropriate mythology.

Why not just partner with Slayer. Then he can reign in blood.

It's got controversy and exclusivity, so I am sure these will sell out soon to some 15 year old with lax supervision and Mom's credit card, and a bunch of 25 year olds with stimulus checks. And I hope they do, because I have a few pairs of shoes with my own blood already on them from careless misadventures, that I will gladly write 'Hail Satan' on in Sharpie if they will sell for $1,500 a pop.

I'll stick to my $10 Walmart sneakers, thank you.
If there really was a Satan he would be mortified by this idiocy...

Nike's not happy. They filed a lawsuit against him for these.

I'm sure this dumbass figured he'd get tons of publicity out of this, but he had to know Nike would sue the pants off him too, right?

People see the swoosh on the side. This IS going to damage the brand.

Maybe this is the nail in nikes coffin they need
