MSCHF, the trolling Brooklyn-based creative agency, is back with more ludicrous products. After creating blood-filled Nike Air Max 97 “Satan Shoes” in partnership with Lil Nas X — a project that quickly led to controversy and a subsequent lawsuit from Nike — the Brooklyn-based art collective is launching an entire sneaker line. Called MSCHF Sneakers, the collection doesn’t include modifications of existing shoes and should accordingly be free from legal liability.
Still, the first drop from the sneaker line is a “winking riff” on one of Nike’s most famous silhouettes, a press release reveals. Dubbed “TAP3” (as in “tape”) the forthcoming sneaker nods to the infamous all-black Air Force 1, covering all branded elements with yellow TPU tape. The shoe, after all, isn’t a Nike shoe — it’s a MSCHF one.
