Executives At Nike Tried To Warn Adidas About Working With Kanye West Prior To Their Partnership
Even though we don’t hear from him as much as we used to (Thank the Heavens!), the ripples of Kanye West‘s ill-fated partnership with Adidas are still sending waves crashing against his supposed good name. Apparently, prior to his line of expensive apocalyptic zombie wear, Nike tried to warn Adidas about the dangers of partnering with Kanye. Mainly because he’s an unstable self-proclaimed Christian Genius Billionaire who thrives on chaos. And chaos is exactly what Adidas got from Kanye, who took them through different levels of petulant childishness with their partnership as Nike snickered in the background before screaming, “We told you so!”
Nike Settled Their Lawsuit Against The Company That Produced Lil Nas X’s “Satan Shoes”
The promo campaign for Lil Nas X‘s latest Billboard #1 single, Montero (Call Me By Your Name) has involved a lap dance with Satan, trolling all the angry pearl-clutches who rose up afterward, and pissing more people off with his Satan Shoes. Well, those Satan Shoes brought on a lawsuit from Nike. Nike was suing the makers of the Satan Shoes, MSCHF, because the shoes were based on Nike’s Air Max 97. Well, Nike has settled that lawsuit and now the Satan Shoes have been banished to Hell for all eternity.
Nike Was Granted A Temporary Restraining To Halt The Sale Of Lil Nas X’s “Satan Shoes”
Nike works fast but the Dark Lord works faster. Earlier this week, Lil Nas X dropped his “Satan shoe,” a modified Nike Air Max 97 with a drop of human blood in the sole distributed by the streetwear company MSCHF. Nike was quick to say “NOT TODAY, YOU KNOW WHO!” and slapped MSCHF with a lawsuit. The shoes, of course, sold out in under a minute save pair 666/666 which was held out as a prize. Now, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Nike has won its first battle and a judge has issued a temporary restraining order barring the further sale or shipment of any more “Satan shoes,” or as they’re more commonly known, just some damn shoes.
