Nike suing everyone. Money must be running low. Bape been having bootleg air forces since forever
You either sue to stop it before it starts or you sue after they have generated substantial income from infringement...so you can take it from them. Nike gets no money if they stopped Bape from the jump. Now they can collect millions.

They had to wait too long at this point. Is anyone wearing bape today??? My friends had the knockoffs back in high school :mjlol: truth be told I don't think they were EVER really doing it like that

Nike’s patent only lasted for 20 years and the forces dropped in 82. Under japan patent law which also lasts 20 years ( cannot renew ) bape saw a door opening and dropped the bapesta in 2002 avoiding the lawsuit.

Idk what happened now that Nike got the patent renewed or what but they been wanting to get bape out the paint lol
I've had a pair since 2005 and hardly ever wore them, the patent white AF1 design, I still got the tissue paper they came in, I think I wore the 3 times then put them away...might have to flex on these young bloods right quick :russell:
