2 black designers getting sued by nike
- Thread starter UberEatsDriver
- Start date
Even Jeff Staple questions why “certain bootlegs”, are accepted, while others are sued.
The dunks came out after the AJ1 debuted, not at the same time. This was clearly meant as a way to capitalize on the popularity of that shoe without having to spend any addtional money on design or development costs, and cash in on the popularity of the aj1's. they literally just removed the jumpman logo and said new shoe.
If changing the logo is enough to be an entirely new creation, then why are they suing these two designers? they have a clearly different logo. So therefore it has nothing to do with nike dunks same way nike dunks have nothing to do with AJ1's right? Thats basically what yall are saying by arguing my point.

nikka the evidence that they sue everyone over a quote. that's still an opinion NOT evidence.
STOP THE BULLshyt
i can pull up more lawsuits
this is the other thing. KIY was replicating direct colorways and designs not just the silhouette.

Nike has a ton of sneakers that look similar to each other. They’ll slightly change the design so that they will constantly have something new on the shelves
These shoes are identical, not similiar.
You are contradicting your own argument by agreeing these 2 designers shoes are a copy of Dunks, while at the same time saying dunks aren't a copy of AJ1's.
You are being idealistic about business. that is all. no more need to go back n forth. it's not the same situation no contract was broken by Nike. nothing shady happened. the only fact is Jordan got part ownership of a company as an athlete and that hasn't happened before or after. yet somehow he got slighted. ok
weird perspective..

they arent identical, the Dunks don't have air in the midsoles whereas the AJ1 does. Dunks dont have the wings logo on them

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.

No they are not. Clear difference when you look at them
Thats fine if you think that, basically you're saying since things worked out for both parties in the end nothing is wrong. I understand.
Obviously they are both cool with it, but doesn't change the fact that dunks are knockoff J's and MJ doesn't get paid for them.
