The complaint alleges the defendant has knowingly knocked off four Jordan models, with four of its own styles. ...

lets be serious though, that company was BLATANTLY ripping AJ designs to profit, MIKE23 was coming up with their OWN designs in homage...

Gourmet's shoes are booty anyway. But it still didn't stop some NT'ers from coppin a few pairs to post in the Pick Up Thread.

Too funny...didn't they get ARI a couple of years ago for them newport inspired af1 looking joints?
 
Nike is smart copyrighting/patenting the different parts of the shoe. This company is going to lose in a court of law. You can't copy anything anymore.These companies are just stupid. They will lose all profits and then some.
 
MY QUESTION IS... How come they havent gone after BAPE and they been biting nike for the longest? is Nigos money to long to touch?
 
^^ 1. JB doesnt need props from some wack brand, the sales say enough. 2. That props stuff is some bs, cuz they are makin profits of stolen designs. If theygave a percentage of the profit to JB then maybe I wouldnt believe it was complete crap. lol props my *%#.

MIKE23 was certainly not a "wack" brand. They used the likeness of MJ and made their own desgins, much better than JB too.

You really dont know what you are talking about. JB should really take cues from MIKE23's stuff. I wear MIKE gear over JBs,,

agreed, those shoes they were making were horrible and a disgrace to the sig line

Japanese copyright/patent law is pretty lax - hence Nigo can get away with his overpriced trash.

haha Gourmet was producing those shoes without any type of permission? they even listed the shoes on PYS in parenthesis as (AJ VII) or whatever model I waslooking at. idiots.
