Nike is a huge company
They would've shut this down day one

Not buying it
u dont think they're suing him?
the NY Times is reporting this news
they're super reliable.
i can see someone immediately putting out a statement, but filing a lawsuit is bit more of a process
gathering the information, etc. and it's only been a few days sfsfsfs
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/28/style/nike-satan-shoes-lil-Nas-x.html
a cease and desist is literally a statement they can email his team in 5 mins
And 66k is nothing to Nike
They didn't even imply they're taking action in their statement
i honestly think the situation is beyond a cease and desist once someone is actually putting the shoes up for sale
there was no "coming this summer" mess....which IMO would have given nike a chance to tell him whoa. pump ur brakes..dial it back a bit.

don't do this sis. stop production of the shoe.
but they now have a huge artist with a massive following and there's a ton of controversy surrounding him right now
and he chooses to design and put a shoe on sale with their logo attached, promoting it as an exclusive shoe with no clear disclaimer that they are not associated....
this is definitely grounds for a lawsuit. those records are public as well
so people can see the details
i'm pretty sure like NY Times did their due diligence before reporting on it. they're not a tabloid mess owt who'll just print or copy/paste anything for clicks and views.
they're highly reputable.
im like 99.9% certain this information is real - basd on the sources alone if nothing else.
