2 black designers getting sued by nike

[Rembrandt]

Who they think they is BAPE?

Idk the exact details but supposedly Bape was very very very on point about copying design but changing specifics eg height of the sole, difference in back name placement, the added logo under the bapestas, etc etc.

I forget where I heard that, could have been the Pharrell x complex shoe thing but somebody went into detail when it was brought up

name them for what? i'm naming who got sued. you clutching on to one name to say they don't sue non Black people but you have 2 non black people posted in here with lawsuits and 2 black people.

find the logic in your claim. I guess those 2 white people don't count as non Black lawsuit recipients because they are not bape or are you trying to say without suing Bape they it's racist? i'm trying to find any semblance of logic in your bullshyt.

arguing over pride... it's ok to be wrong brothers

Your c00n ass is laughing at the fact that race isn’t a factor. According to the article YOU posted it alludes that race & money could be a factor .

Youre a c00n so I can understand why you’d laugh at the thought that race could never be a factor & side with big business. These are young black men being sued for the same thing that Asians have been doing for over 20 yrs. Check your article since you need proof, c00n

nah brother it's over. you didn't make your first point and you branching off widly and the analogies are terrible. nike and jordan are not separate companies. nike owns all THEIR designs. nike and reebok are separate companies. of course nike would sue reebok for them using nike desings. of course Jordan CAN'T sue nike beause he uses Nike designs.

this shyt IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE

You have not successfully refuted any of my points. you're just saying bu bu bu is the same company.

Help me understand wanting to buy Nike ripoffs?

 

[Peauxboy]

lets do a hypothetical.
Lets say Nike only ever released the J's. And reebok instead came out with the dunks. You don't think Nike would sue reebok claiming their dunks were knockoffs of their J's? We both know the answer because thats exactly what they are doing with these two designers.

Doubt they would’ve won. The shoes are two completely different shapes, with different feels. They don’t even use the same sole.

Nike has been doing that a lot in the recent years, I remember John Geiger also got sued. The shoe in the op looks like a carbon copy, cant blame em lol

Meanwhile Bapesta’s dropping to this day and Nike mute about that

now i'm a c00n because of your hurt PRIDE

fakkit can't prove his false claim so he opt for personal insults.

you know it would have just been much easier to say "why doesn't nike sue Bape" rather than "these lawsuits are race based".

the evidence was compelling you couldn't side step it. you paused and thought when all else fails. call them a c00n.

pander to race for daps as a distraction BUT THE FACT REMAINS YOUR CLAIMS THE CLAIM IN OP ABOUT RACE AND THESE SUITS WRONG.

You been c00nin check the first reply.

Once again be mad at me, all of this is coming from the article YOU posted

There is less of a difference between dunks and J's then there is between them and the shoes these two designers made. and yet nike still considers them knockoffs. If those are knockoffs so are dunks. but obviously since its the same company they not gonna sue themselves, just think its a shady workaround to not have to pay mj a percentage as part of his endorsement.

nikka what

 

[J.E.T.S]

Been wanting a few pairs. They’re actually hard.

about this guys nike lawsuit

that's one odd looking Black designer

pride is a muthafuka

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

Of course they were in development at the same time. They're the same shoe
but AJ1's were released several months before the dunks. They just modified the J's and released it as a new shoe.

What are you even arguing then

You are right. It was 6 or 8 changes made

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

You mean Omi was. Outside of like basic colorways, Kiy was mostly doing his own thing color wise.

Its sad. I wonder if they tried to C&D them first. Dude is going to lose alot of that money he’s built fighting this long ass court case and will probably lose in the end. I wonder if he can settle.

if they using the same branding they both responsible.
