Nike Inc said on Thursday a Brooklyn company that made 'Satan Shoes'&nbsp;in collaboration with the rapper Lil Nas X has agreed to voluntarily recall the shoes, as part of a legal settlement with the athletics giant. 
 
The settlement with MSCHF Product Studio Inc resolves a trademark infringement lawsuit that Nike filed last week over the black-and-red, devil-themed sneakers, which carry the Nike "swoosh" logo and quickly sold out at $1,018 a pair. 
 
Satan Shoes are customized versions of the Nike Air Max 97 sneakers, with midsoles purporting to contain a drop of human blood, and printed with "Luke 10:18," a reference to a Biblical verse that alludes to Satan`s fall from heaven.

Only 666 pairs were made, with the last held back so Lil Nas X, known for the song "Old Town Road," could choose the recipient. Nike said MSCHF will offer full refunds to purchasers of its Satan Shoes and Jesus Shoes, which were launched in 2019 and also based on the Air Max 97, "to remove them from circulation." 
 
Limited edition shoes can fetch premium prices among collectors, however, and those obtaining refunds could miss out on price appreciation. 
David Bernstein, who chairs the intellectual property litigation group at Debevoise &amp; Plimpton and represents MSCHF, said the artistic messages MSCHF hoped the shoes would convey were "dramatically amplified" by Nike`s lawsuit.

"MSCHF intended to comment on the absurdity of the collaboration culture practised by some brands, and about the perniciousness of intolerance," he said. "Having achieved its artistic purpose, MSCHF is pleased to have resolved the lawsuit." 
 
Lil Nas X was not a defendant and never got to choose who received the last pair after a Brooklyn judge temporarily halted further sales on April 1. 
Nike had claimed that even "sneakerheads" were confused about who produced Satan Shoes, while MSCHF said the shoes were "individually-numbered works of art" and did not sow confusion. 
 
In March, Lil Nas X released a devil-themed video for his song "Montero (Call Me By Your Name)."

Nike ends lawsuit over Lil Nas X 'Satan Shoes', which will be recalled

Rapper Lil Nas X’ new footwear collaboration has invited fresh criticism from the conservatives as they find it “distasteful” among other things. The singer tied with streetwear company MSCHF and made a pair of ‘Satan Shoes’ as they call it which claims to have human blood in them.&nbsp;

Starting Monday, only 666 pairs will be available for sale but&nbsp;not everyone likes the idea of human blood in their footwear. The kicks are apparently modified Nike Air Max 97s as they come with a pentagram pendant and a reference to Luke 10:18, a Bible verse about Satan's fall from heaven. The shoes are up for sale at a price of $1,018.

As for the human blood part, the sneakers contain them in the sole which is drawn from the members of the MSCHF team, the company told a channel.&nbsp;

Soon after the announcement, netizens slammed Nike, MSCHF and Lil Nas for the shoes. Nike then distanced itself from the controversy and said, "We do not have a relationship with Little Nas X or MSCHF. Nike did not design or release these shoes and we do not endorse them."

Meanwhile, Lil Nas has apologised to fans who didn’t like the vision for the shoes and shared a video. Actually, the video is no apology as many publications call it but a sarcastic way to shut down trolls. He shared a video from his single ‘Montero (Call Me By Your Name)’ which happened to have coincided with the release of the controversial shoes.&nbsp;

He called the apology video: ‘Lil Nas X Apologizes for Satan Shoe’.

Lil Nas X shares apology video for launching Satan Shoes that have human blood

Lil Nas X is no stranger to controversy and the artist recently became a center of a new one.&nbsp;

The two-time Grammy winner&nbsp;recently fanned the flames when he released the highly-anticipated video for his single 'Montero (Call Me By Your Name).' Although lauded by fans as a metaphor for how it feels to come out as a member of the LGBTQ+&nbsp;community, others have responded with criticism online.

Filled with biblical references, the video begins with the artist being seduced by the snake in the Garden of Eden. He's then put on trial and subsequently stoned to death (but not with stones) before he ascends to heaven. His trip is cut short, as he rides a pole down to Hell, where he gives Satan a now-infamous lap dance in patent leather thigh-high stilettos.

&nbsp;

He recently responded to his critics on Twitter, and he didn't mince words when it came to defending himself, writing, "Y'all saying a gay n— twerking on a cgi satan is the end of times like slavery and the holocaust didn't happen."

Miley Cyrus, Lil Nas X to star in Amazon Music's 'Holiday Plays'

Rapper Lil Nas X will perform in a virtual concert and debut a new music video on Roblox this weekend, in the first such venture for the hugely popular kids gaming platform.

Roblox said on Tuesday it would partner with Columbia Records to bring the 'Old Town Road'&nbsp;singer to its millions of users for three free live virtual concerts, as video games become a popular means for artists to promote their music when coronavirus curbs have barred big gatherings.

Epic Games, the makers of Fortnite, held a three-week-long concert series in the game’s party royale island in September, while Roblox hosted an album launch party for popstar Ava Max in the same month.

Roblox Corp, which is among the world’s most popular gaming sites for children with an estimated 150 million monthly active users as of July, said last month it had filed for a New York stock market listing.&nbsp;

Reuters had earlier reported the listing, which cashes in on a lockdown boom in video game sales and online spending, would value the company at as much as $8 billion.

After his country-rap crossover 'Old Town Road' was controversially dropped from Billboard's Hot Country chart in April, the rapper roped in country star Billy Ray Cyrus to make a remix, which went viral on the internet and made history by becoming the longest-running number 1 single to ever top the Billboard Hot 100 Chart, reported People. 
 
The rapper also dropped his first EP 7, in June and performed at the MTV Video Music Awards last month. 
 
'Old Town Road'&nbsp;won song of the year at the awards ceremony, and the rapper was also nominated in eight other categories. 
 
Earlier this week, Nas X who came out as gay at the end of Pride Month in June, confessed in an episode of 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show'&nbsp;that he is sort of in a relationship, reported the outlet. 
 
Asked whether he was seeing anybody, the singer replied, "Somewhat, somewhat".&nbsp;

Lil Nas X announces break from music, cancels two shows

After his ouster from the Hot Country US song charts triggered outrage and catapulted him to overnight fame, genre-bending artist Lil Nas X is up for a Country Music Award.

His now-ubiquitous record-breaking megahit 'Old Town Road'&nbsp;-- which marries twangy banjo with thumping bass -- will compete for "Musical Event of the Year" at this year's CMAs, organisers announced Wednesday.

The infectious single by the Atlanta native was famously booted from Billboard's country list, with the industry tracker saying it was not in line with the genre's sound.

Its removal sparked anger over perceived white-washing in the country music industry, with many saying the novice musician's hit was pigeonholed as hip hop purely because he is black.

Billboard denied those allegations -- but didn't allow Old Town Road&nbsp;back onto the country chart, even after genre veteran Billy Rae Cyrus offered vocals for a remix of the hit, which is the version up for a CMA.

Since then Lil Nas X broke the decades-old record for longest reign over the Billboard Hot 100, the industry's most closely watched singles chart, holding the spot for 19 weeks and fending off advances from pop juggernauts including Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber.

This week the unknown artist-turned-industry maverick along with Cyrus snagged MTV Video Music Award for Best Song.

The collaborators will now compete at the CMAs in November against country artists including Maren Morris and Garth Brooks.

"thank you guys for this nomination!!" tweeted Lil Nas X.
