But if they are genuine real Nike's, how on earth can this be considered a trademark infringement!?

Nike may not wish to be associated with that sort of film, but there's no abuse of trademark. Nike would have to sue for "bringing the brand into disrepute" or somesuch.

It's like copyright has been diluted where anybody can pay a licence fee and use any music, and the artist has to object if they hear of and don't like the use. But they can't sue for breach of copyright because a licence fee has been paid.

Cheers,
Wol
