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.
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.
