A Portland pimp had filed a lawsuit against Nike, claiming the company is partially to blame for a brutal beating of a john that earned him a 100-year prison sentence. Sirgiorgiro Clardy, 26, claims Nike should have placed a label in the shoes warning consumers that the kicks have the potential to be used as a dangerous weapon, according to The Oregonian newspaper. Clardy is seeking $100 million for what he believes was the shoe manufacturer’s oversight. Clardy repeatedly stomped on the face of a client with his Jordan Nike shoes when the man refused to pay Clardy’s prostitute. The man required stitches and plastic surgery after the beating.
