Nike didn't have anything to do with the shoes though. That is fair. They may not be an upstanding company, but this isn't there doing.
There was a company that Lil Nas X hired or who hired him who makes custom shoes. In this case, they made a custom run of 666. They just buy Nike shoes themselves, tweak them, then upcharge.
I don't know if you make or sell anything. If after a consumer buys it and they do something reprehensible with it, it isn't the seller or manufacturer's fault.
I’m not an atty but I would assume that if they’re using Nike’s name/label they would have to have permission. Nike is denying, I’m calling BS otherwise they’d squash these like they did the Betsy Ross shoe.
You can modify almost any product (except tractors and software) and resell it. This is all this is. They are not using the Nike logo in marketing except for how it is on their product already. The emblem isn't used in the marketing outside of the product itself.

Not good enough...
