If any purchasers were confused, or if they otherwise want to return their shoes, they may do so for a full refund. “As part of the settlement, Nike has asked MSCHF, and MSCHF has agreed, to initiate a voluntary recall to buy back any Satan Shoes and Jesus Shoes for their original retail prices, in order to remove them from circulation. “MSCHF altered these shoes without Nike’s authorization,” the brand said. Nike confirmed the settlement with a statement of their own.

“With these Satan Shoes - which sold out in less than a minute - MSCHF intended to comment on the absurdity of the collaboration culture practiced by some brands, and about the perniciousness of intolerance,” the Brooklyn brand’s lawyers told The Verge, adding, “Having already achieved its artistic purpose, MSCHF recognized that settlement was the best way to allow it to put this lawsuit behind it so that it could dedicate its time to new artistic and expressive projects.” The legal team of MSCHF was “pleased” with the outcome of the suit, stating that the message of the collab was “powerfully” conveyed by Lil Nas X’s latest single, “MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name),” and “dramatically amplified” by the brief legal battle with the footwear giant.

Lil Nas X, who was not named as a defendant in the lawsuit, released a series of tweets after the lawsuit was filed, including a 'SpongeBob SquarePants' meme of a character begging for money with the caption 'me after the Nike lawsuit.' The rapper has not commented publicly on the settlement.While the specifics of the settlement were not disclosed, it reportedly included an option for customers who purchased the “Satan Shoes” and “Jesus Shoes” to return the pair with a full refund. According to MSCHF, each shoe contains about 2 fluid ounces of red ink and 'one drop' of human blood in the sole. The shoes, which were first released the day after Palm Sunday, were tied to the release of Lil Nas X's new song 'MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name).' In the song's music video, the 21-year-old rapper attempts to seduce the devil after falling from the Garden of Eden. 'Purchasers who choose not to return their shoes and later encounter a product issue, defect, or health concern should contact MSCHF, not Nike.' 'If any purchasers were confused, or if they otherwise want to return their shoes, they may do so for a full refund,' the company said. MSCHF will buy back both types of shoes at their original retail prices 'in order to remove them from circulation,' Nike said. The company also agreed to a voluntary recall for its 'Jesus Shoes,' a pair of Nikes the company sold in 2019 that apparently had holy water added to the soles. In announcing the settlement, Nike said MSCHF has agreed to initiate a voluntary recall of the shoes. The company said the shoes were 'likely to cause confusion and dilution and create an erroneous association between MSCHF's products and Nike.' The company initially planned a giveaway for the 666th pair, but Nike filed a lawsuit soon after the shoes were released, alleging that they violated its trademark and damaged its brand.

Even with a $1,018 price tag - a reference to the Bible passage Luke 10:18, which reads, 'I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven' - the 665 pairs of shoes sold out minutes after they were released in late March.

The 'Satan Shoes' are modified versions of Nike's Air Max 97, and each pair features a bronze pentagram charm, an inverted cross and one drop of human blood, according to the company. Nike announced Thursday that it has settled its lawsuit against MSCHF, the company that collaborated with Lil Nas X to produce the controversial 'Satan Shoes.' MSCHF will issue a voluntary recall of the shoes as a condition of the settlement, Nike said.
