Last year, a MSCHF collaboration with Lil Nas X featuring Nike Air Max 97s modified with a bit of blood and devilish symbolism, sparked a firestorm of controversy as well as a Nike lawsuit. Now, its inventors are back, and not with just another wacko, attention-getting stunt
Last year, when MSCHF, the creative collective in the New York City borough of Brooklyn that styles itself as the Banksy of consumer culture, unveiled its “Satan Shoes,” a collaboration with Lil Nas X featuring Nike Air Max 97s modified with a bit of blood and devilish symbolism, it sparked a firestorm of controversy as well as a Nike lawsuit.
In the end, sales were halted and the product, if not its shadow, disappeared from the internet. Now, however, its inventors are back, and not with just another wacko, attention-getting stunt.
