News of the shoes drew outrage over the Palm Sunday weekend; some critics slammed both Lil Nas X and Nike. But Nike was quick to distance itself from the shoes, pointing out that they're custom adaptations of existing products.
"We do not have a relationship with Little Nas X or MSCHF," Nike said in a statement. "Nike did not design or release these shoes and we do not endorse them."
Because they are Nike shoes. The rapper and that company modified them. I would assume it is similar to customizing a truck or a car or even a motorcycle. A lot of bike shops start out with a Harley and then change a lot of things and then slap their logo on it.
No. If they bought Nike shoes and customized them, that is their prerogative. If you bought a pair of Nikes, you can do what you want with them. Let me put it this way...If a t-shirt printing company sells a shirt that says "Kill Trump" on it, but it is printed on a Hanes t-shirt that the printing company bought....Hanes would have no connection to the nonsense printed on a shirt that they manufactured. It would still have the Hanes logo on the collar. Hanes would mostly likely make a statement saying that they are not affiliated with the T-shirt company and they do not condone the t-shirt companies line of vulgar t-shirts.
I didnt know that he claimed partnership. They will definitely sue him if he turns white. Otherwise, he will be marked safe from all forms of racist suing
The thing to look for, now that NIKE is denying any involvement, is, will they sue this guy and the company that supposedly altered the shoes without NIKE's knowledge? Or will the allow their Brand to be used to promote, what is blatantly Satanic propaganda?
I’m not familiar with this guys work outside of his one hit wonder, but I know he’s gone to schools to perform and it’s a big hit with the grade school crowd. My daughter used to sing it all the time because they played it at some event at school (Catholic school, mind you). They played it non stop on the radio for awhile. I seriously thought he was a children’s entertainer. (I’m an old though). This is the 180 I wasn’t expecting 😆. He can get bent though.
Satan denies he’s Satan. Nice try, Satan.
Isn't deception kind of Satan's thing?
Wait. They contain human blood?
Really? Nike denies it?
Isn't that their Nike logo on the shoe?

They why aren't they suing for Copyright infringement for that Nike Logo?

So then they would be suing because stealing their logo/Product is Illegal, right?

What I am trying to say is that this guy claimed to have a partnership with Nike.
There was a commercial and ads.
The shoe has the Nike logo on it.

It's kind of like a Shelby or Saleen Mustang. They buy it and fix it up. Except Nike doesn't sell them like Ford does.
It must be true because Snopes said so.
never listening to any of his music ever again FUCK 'EM
Me too! I am throwing out my entire collection of Little Nas X right now.
We stopped listening to Imagine Dragons too because of all this satanic crap.
The next time I listen to Lil Nas X's "music" will be the first time I listen to Lil Nas X's "music".
SODOMITE.
The Nike swoosh is just the Newport logo upside down.
They are both stylized rings of Saturn, most likely as a (not so) subtle nod to their allegiance to the ancient Cult of Saturn.
If you start thinking along these lines you'll start seeing variations on the "swoosh" or ring-around-a-sphere designs everywhere.
And they will murder for both items.
Too be honest, I had never heard of this (C)rapper until all this Nike Shoe thing came up.
Hmm, if they didn't approve, one might expect a cease and desist followed by a lawsuit . . .
HELLO BLACK COMMUNITY. Appears SATAN is targeting your Children and Big Corporations are Helping them
He's gay?
Does he know his target demographic is about as homophobic as you can get?

Lil Fag X is in trouble.
Now what will Nike do? If it really has "nothing to do with it," I should sue this satanic fag.
otherwise we do not believe this brand
I mean...this is exactly the shit the Democrats want. Most of Hollywood is all about this. The difference is at least Nas X is being open about it
He was an absolute nobody until he sold his soul to Satan.
