Only 666 pairs of shoes were made but on filing the infringement suit, a judge halted the shoes from being shipped to customers. MSCHF agreed to settle the lawsuit stating that it has already achieved its ‘artistic purpose’ and that the shoes will continue to represent the ideals of ‘equality and inclusion’. Reacting to the controversy Rapper Lil Nas X who was not a defendant to the infringement suit took to twitter to express his anger and stated ‘Freedom of Expression has gone out of the window.’ PAGE 2/2
