By selling the bedicked shoe as Nike you are implying that Nike has made this “offensive” shoe and are selling it.

If you do lie to the buyer that it was a brand new Nike shoe, it'd be the concern of the sales contract between you and the buyer, and trademark law.

I'll call it

"Brand new shoes by Nike"

And add a disclaimer

"This is not brand new shoes from Nike".

Do you think it will protect me from Nike?
