Lil Nas X s Satan Shoes, in collaboration with Brooklyn, N.Y.-based art company MSCHF Product Studio, Inc., resulted in a lawsuit from Nike over Nas X s reworked Nike Air Max 97 sneaker. However, all is well as a settlement has been made regarding the controversial shoe, which appears in the rapper s Montero (Call Me by Your Name) music video.
According to an article published on Business Insider on Friday (April 9), Nike has settled with MSCHF for an undisclosed amount. The monetary agreement stems from a legal filing the shoe giant made last week, accusing the company of deceiving consumers into thinking Nike approved of the sneaker when it was customized by Lil Nas X and MSCHF, who has modified other sneakers in prior years, particularly the Jesus Shoes that came out back in 2019.
