A PIMP is suing Nike for $100 million after being convicted of brutally stomping a man while wearing a pair of Air Jordans.

Sirgiorgiro Clardy, 26, claims the shoe manufacturer should have placed a label on the sneakers waing consumers they could be used as a dangerous weapon, Oregon Live reports.

The Portland man was handed a 100-year prison sentence last year for repeatedly stomping the face of a john who was trying to leave a Portland hotel without paying Clardy's prostitute in June 2012. The man required plastic surgery and stitches.

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

Clardy, who is representing himself, claims that Nike, Chairman Phil Knight and other executives failed in their duty of care by not waing customers about their "dangerous" product.

"Under product liability there is a certain standard of care that is required to be up-held by potentially dangerous product ...," Clardy says in his handwritten filing.

"Do (sic) to the fact that these defendants named in this Tort claim failed to wa of risk or to provide an adequate waing or instruction it has caused personal injury in the likes of mental suffering."

During his two-week trial, a psychologist declared Clardy an anti-social psychopath who was 100 per cent likely to commit violent crimes again.

The suit will be served to Nike in the coming days.
