The order effectively blocks the further sale of the hellish sneakers, for now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe order, issued by the Eastern District of New York, states that the Brooklyn-based agency cannot fulfill any orders,\u201d CBS News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/nike-restraining-order-lawsuit-lil-nas-x-mschf-satan-shoes\/\">reported<\/a>. The restraining order was approved after 665 pairs of the kicks, priced at a hefty $1,018, sold out Monday in just one minute.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNike filed a trademark infringement and dilution complaint against MSCHF today related to the Satan Shoes,\u201d Nike <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/nike-restraining-order-lawsuit-lil-nas-x-mschf-satan-shoes\/\">said<\/a> in a statement released Thursday. \u201cWe don\u2019t have any further details to share on pending legal matters. However, we can tell you we do not have a relationship with Lil Nas X or MSCHF. The Satan Shoes were produced without Nike\u2019s approval or authorization, and Nike is in no way connected with this project.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The satanic sneakers include one drop of human blood mixed with in, and there are only 666 pairs available for purchase, staying inline with the hellish theme. It is planned that the remaining unsold pair is to go to a fan via a giveaway.<\/p>\n<p>In a lawsuit filed by Nike, the apparel brand argues that the&nbsp;shoes are \u201clikely to cause confusion and dilution and create an erroneous association between MSCHF\u2019s products and Nike,\u201d claiming that there\u2019s \u201calready evidence of significant confusion and dilution occurring in the marketplace, including calls to boycott Nike in response to the launch of MSCHF\u2019s Satan Shoes based on the mistaken belief that Nike has authorized or approved this product.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a direct and proximate result of MSCHF\u2019s wrongful acts, Nike has suffered, continues to suffer, and\/or is likely to suffer damage to its trademarks, business reputation, and goodwill that money cannot compensate,\u201d the suit continues. \u201cUnless enjoined, MSCHF will continue to use Nike\u2019s Asserted Marks and\/or confusingly similar marks and will cause irreparable damage to Nike for which Nike has no adequate remedy at law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, the confusion sparked a fact-check this weekend from liberal site Snopes, which included a statement from Nike quickly distancing themselves from the sneakers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNike did not release nor design these shoes,\u201d a spokesperson for the company told Snopes via email.<\/p>\n<p>Nas, whose real name is Montero Lamar Hill,&nbsp;acknowledged in January&nbsp;that his core audience is children, according to an interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2021\/01\/05\/953349880\/lil-nas-x-says-children-are-his-core-audience-right-now-and-thats-ok\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NPR<\/a>. \u201cBefore releasing his Satan Shoes, Hill appeared with Elmo on \u2018Sesame Street\u2019 and wrote a children\u2019s book called \u2018C Is For Country,\u2019\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/rapper-lil-nas-x-rolls-out-line-of-bloody-satan-shoes-to-coincide-with-new-song-about-demonic-sex\">The&nbsp;Daily Wire<\/a> highlighted Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cOld Town Road\u201d singer is not named as a defendant in the lawsuit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/knowles-taking-lil-nas-x-and-satan-seriously\">KNOWLES: Taking&nbsp;Lil&nbsp;Nas&nbsp;X (And Satan)&nbsp;Seriously<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/candace-owens-rips-lil-nas-xs-satan-shoes-nobody-has-the-courage-to-tell-black-america-the-truth\">Candace Owens Rips Lil Nas X\u2019s \u2018Satan Shoes\u2019: \u2018Nobody Has The Courage To Tell Black America The&nbsp;Truth\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/rapper-lil-nas-x-rolls-out-line-of-bloody-satan-shoes-to-coincide-with-new-song-about-demonic-sex\"><strong>Rapper Lil Nas X Rolls Out Line Of Bloody \u2018Satan Shoes\u2019 To Coincide With New Song About Demonic&nbsp;Sex<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
