Nike has said it will withdraw its controversial Air Stab trainers from the British market after a spate of fatal stabbings.
The Times reports that the company's pledge comes less than two weeks after a pair of security guards at its flagship Niketown store in London were treated for stab wounds after being knifed in the leg and back by a gang of shoplifters.
Nikes Air Stab trainers are a limited-edition retro trainer based on a 1988 design.
They carry the logo Runnin 'n' Gunnin and have been widely condemned by consumer watchdogs and charity groups.
A spokesperson for Nike told the Times that its Air Stab name was "obviously unfortunate, given the current issues that we face in the UK, and we will therefore be taking the Air Stab out of distribution".
However, a spokesperson for Nike denied its Air Stab trainers encouraged knife crime, saying: "I do not think it might have a bad influence over young people."
Earlier this year the government announce a £3 million advertising campaign which shows real victims of knife crime and their wounds.
