A pimp has filed a 111 million dollar lawsuit against Nike after he grievously injured a man with the shoes.

The 26-year-old US man has claimed that the shoe manufacturer should have placed a label on the sneakers warning consumers they could be used as a dangerous weapon, News.com.au reported.

Sirgiorgiro Clardy has been handed a 100-year prison sentence after being convicted of brutally stomping a man, who was trying to leave a Portland hotel without paying his prostitute, while wearing a pair of Air Jordans.

Clardy was also found guilty of robbing the man and beating the 18-year-old prostitute so badly that she bled from her ears.
