Nike has settled with the maker of Lil Nas X's controversial "Satan Shoe" for an undisclosed amount, Report informs referring to Business Insider.
Nike filed a trademark infringement suit on March 29 after art startup MSCHF collaborated with Lil Nas X on a shoe that knocks off the Nike Air Max 97 and claimed to insert a drop of human blood to the midsole.
The terms of the settlement include a voluntary recall that allow MSCHF to buy back the Satan Shoes for their original retail price. MSCHF said on April 1 it had shipped at least 200 pairs of the shoe before a judge granted Nike's temporary restraining order to stop processing the orders.
The shoes sold out almost instantly, going for $1,018 a pair. The sale is a follow-up to MSCHF's "Jesus Shoes" - white Nike Air Max 97s, which contained holy water in the sole.
Lil Nas X's collaboration on the shoes comes as he released his devilish music video for his new song "Montero (Call Me By Your Name)," a song whose title appears to refer to the novel and film "Call Me By Your Name."
"If any purchasers were confused, or if they otherwise want to return their shoes, they may do so for a full refund," Nike said in a statement to Insider. "The parties are pleased to put this dispute behind them."
Nike added customers who do not want to return the shoe or encounter a "product issue, defect, or health concern," should contact MSCHF. The shoe giant reiterated Nike had no role in selling the Satan Shoe.
