If the shoes were sold through a gallery the claim that this was all a work of art might hold water. If the joke was funnier, the parody element might have had some legs to it. The way this was presented meant it really just looked like a Nike ripoff.
The artists’ lawyer claims this was a comment on “absurd collaboration culture” between brands and artists. Just kidding, it was a joke!
If your joke is not funny enough to be distinguishable from a real brand collaboration then you can expect to called out for straight up trademark infringement.
- monocasa 6y agoThe idea is that it's a collaboration between Satan and Nike. They previously did another one based on what a collab between Nike and Jesus would look like. I doubt anyone thinks Nike is doing collabs with religious figures.
