Nike gets restraining order against Lil Nas X's "Satan Shoes" — blocking all sales
CBSN
Nike is waging an all-out war with the devil. The apparel company has successfully blocked the sale of Lil Nas X's "Satan Shoes" — at least for now.
On Wednesday, a U.S. District Court approved Nike's request for a temporary restraining order against MSCHF, the art collective that collaborated with the rapper to create a pair of sneakers containing "one drop" of human blood. They used modified Nike Air Max 97s for the collaboration. The order, issued by the Eastern District of New York, states that the Brooklyn-based agency cannot fulfill any orders. On Monday, 665 pairs of the devil-themed sneakers, priced at $1,018, sold out in just one minute.Ashley White received her earliest combat action badge from the United States Army soon after the first lieutenant arrived in Afghanistan. The silver military award, recognizing soldiers who've been personally engaged by an attacker during conflict, was considered an achievement in and of itself as well as an affirming rite of passage for the newly deployed. White had earned it for using her own body to shield a group of civilian women and children from gunfire that broke out in the midst of her third mission in Kandahar province. All of them survived. She never mentioned the badge to anyone in her battalion.
