Judge halts distribution of Lil Nas X’s ‘Satan shoes’ at Nike’s request — and buyers might not ever receive the $1,018 shoes they paid for

A judge has granted Nike’s request for a temporary restraining order against MSCHF, the company behind rapper Lil Nas X’s highly controversial “Satan shoes.”

The rapper, real name Montero Lamar Hill, collaborated with Brooklyn-based art collective MSCHF on the sneakers, which are a limited-edition design built on of a pair of Nike Air Max 97s.

The controversial shoes’ air bubble is filled with 60cc of red ink as well a drop of human blood, according to the rapper.

The shoes — which also feature a pentagram pendant, an embroidered “666,” and a Bible verse — retailed for $1,018 and went on sale Monday. Within minutes, the shoes sold out.

Nike filed a lawsuit against MSCHF earlier this week, stating that it did not authorize the shoes or design.

“Due to the restraining order, MSCHF will not be allowed to ship [the shoes] to customers awaiting the shoe that the creative agency put their blood, sweat, and tears in,” the outlet reported.
