In the lawsuit, Nike argued that MSCHF’s design creates a “likelihood of injury to Nike’s business reputation and goodwill” as the shoes created a “likelihood of consumer confusion, mistake, and deception as to the source of origin or relationship of Nike's products and MSCHF's Satan Shoes, and has otherwise competed unfairly by unlawfully trading on and using” Nike’s trademarks without permission.
