For Nike and someone named Lil Nas X, the devil is in the details.
Let’s start the story with this — not many people have ever heard of Lil Nas X. The rapper is likely known by less than 1 percent of the world’s population. But Lil Nas X has decided to use Nikes — of all God-forsaken shoe companies — to help sell his “Satanic” brand.
Now, Lil Nas X isn’t actually a Satanist. He is just trying to do what AC/DC, Iron Maiden and other heavy metal acts way before him did to gain some fame. He is trying to scare you into buying his stuff.
So Lil Nas X is taking Nikes, modifying them in a dirty devil of a way, and putting them out on his own. He is promising a drop of blood in each pair. He is releasing 666 pairs. He is asking $1,018 for each pair. That’s not all.
Per the New York Post, “Bible scripture Luke 10:18 is also emblazoned on the side. The passage references Satan’s banishment from heaven. There are also upside-down crosses and a pentagram attached to the shoe laces, as well as printed on it’s sole.”
Now, Lil Nas X may be in trouble with more than just the Lord. He could face punishment from the devil himself, or in today’s world, shoe companies such as Nike — which once stopped production of shoes featuring the Betsy Ross flag. Because, ya know, the American flag is evil.
“Nike isn’t officially releasing these shoes, FYI, but they are Nikes being modified & released,” OutKick founder Clay Travis tweeted. “I’d sue over this if I were Nike. Although that may be what creator wants. Interesting case at intersection of copyright, trademark, IP law, & branding. Good law review article.”
In other words, hold on to your horns, red tights and pitchforks. It appears the lil-known Lil Nas X and evil empire Nike are in for one hell of a ride.
Did this approved by Kaep?
I can easily live without Nike products, but many will find Satan shoes repulsive yet continue to buy Nike gear for the kids soccer.
New Balance shoes. Made without slave labor, well unless you count UK labor as slave labor these days. It’s hard to tell.
$1018.00? The sad part about this is that there will be idiotic people camping outside shoe store doors trying to get their hands on a pair.
When I saw this initially, I thought it was something that the Babylon Bee cooked up! Unbelievable…..haven’t purchased Nike in years, never will again!!
What if you got killed waiting in line for these, or in a sales transaction gone bad….
ST. PETER: So you were in line to buy WHAT again?!!
YOU: Um…..
Not blaming Nike — this time anyway. There are so many other reasons not to buy Nike products. I wish my alma mater would find another supplier. Every time I buy another sweatshirt in the Bookstore, some of that money goes to Uncle Phil and the Ducks.
If you buy your part of the problem
Amazing, isn’t it, how so few people understand this?
In the last days, good will be called evil and evil will be called good
Yup and the last shall be first and the first shall be last.
When you run in them, they play “Runnin’ with the Devil”
Amico makes a good point about the satanic heavy metal days.
Ozzy Osbourne biting off the heads of bats at concerts.
Alice Cooper with mock beheadings.
Crap like that…
Don’t care…still not buying Nike…they still love China.
whether Nike and the NBA are sponsoring these shoes or not is irrelevant to me. They all have the same narcissistic woke mentality so even if they are not specifically collaborating on this they might as well be in my mind. THey are all trying to tear down American. Fuck Nike, the NBA, and these sneakers. I am done with Nike and I am done with the nba.
Wonder if Nike would ever release a John 3:16 version for Tebow? That would probably be inappropriate.
Whether Nike is behind these or not, someone should ask LeBron where he stands on this.
He doesn’t stand… he kneels at the altar of Satan…
