Nike says the art collective which made Satan Shoes that purportedly contain a drop of human blood in the soles has agreed to issue a voluntary recall as part of a legal settlement.
The $1,018 (£740) trainers are modified Nike Air Max 97s. Only 666 pairs were made and all but one have been shipped.
The collective MSCHF will offer full refunds to customers in order to remove the shoes from circulation, Nike said.
The settlement resolves a trademark infringement lawsuit filed by Nike.
The controversial shoes were produced by the Brooklyn collective in collaboration with rapper Lil Nas X, who held the last pair so he could choose the recipient. MSCHF said it would keep the final pair of shoes.

Nike Inc says a Brooklyn company that made “Satan Shoes” in collaboration with rapper Lil Nas X has agreed to voluntarily recall the footwear, as part of a legal settlement with the athletics giant.
The settlement with MSCHF Product Studio Inc resolves a trademark infringement lawsuit that Nike filed last week over the black-and-red, devil-themed sneakers, which carry the Nike “swoosh” logo and quickly sold out at $1,018 a pair.
Satan Shoes are customised versions of the Nike Air Max 97 sneakers, with midsoles purporting to contain a drop of human blood, and printed with “Luke 10:18”, a reference to a Biblical verse that alludes to Satan’s fall from heaven.

Scottish indie rockers The Snuts have scored a number one with their debut album WL.
The four-piece, from Whitburn in West Lothian, denied US pop star Demi Lovato the crown after a closely-fought race this week.
Fronted by 26-year-old singer and guitarist Jack Cochrane, The Snuts also become the first Scottish band in 14 years to enter at number one with their debut, since The View’s Hats Off To The Buskers in 2007.
