I don't quite understand the meaning of the phrase "custom adaptations of existing products." Does it mean "adaptations (of existing products) based on the requirements of the customer (here it is Lil Nas X apparently)"? If so, only Nike has had the right to legally do so (I've attached two pics below. One is Nike's existing product Nike Air Max 97s, the other is "Satan Shoes"). And if Nike added the blood in the custom shoes according to the customer's request, Nike is naturally involved with it and can't deny it (see the title of the report - Nike denies involvement with Lil Nas X 'Satan Shoes' containing human blood.) The Satan Shoes has Nike logo there, which should be authorized by Nike anyways.
How should I properly understand the phrase "custom adaptations of existing products"?
====================
Nike denies involvement with Lil Nas X 'Satan Shoes' containing human blood
......................................................
News of the shoes drew outrage over the Palm Sunday weekend; some critics slammed both Lil Nas X and Nike. But Nike was quick to distance itself from the shoes, pointing out that they're custom adaptations of existing products.
"We do not have a relationship with Little Nas X or MSCHF," Nike said in a statement. "Nike did not design or release these shoes and we do not endorse them."
