Nah brands like visvim don't go on sale really. The description says SS15 trunk show, as well as being able to pre order what you see. Also a good selection of visvim products for purchase.
 
[h1]Atlanta shoe designer sues Louis Vuitton[/h1]
Atlanta based shoe designer Antonio Brown is going toe-to-toe with luxury fashion house Louis Vuitton.

Last month, Brown filed a lawsuit against Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy (LVMH) and Louis Vuitton North America for trademark infringement. The complaint alleges that Vuitton copied the toe-plate design of Brown’s LVL XIII (Level Thirteen) shoe brand for its “On the Road” sneaker collection which debuted in February.

“For me, I just want justice. I don’t want any more confusion in the marketplace. This was a trademark I established and put in the market,” says Brown, who lives on Atlanta’s Westside.

Louis Vuitton North America has not yet responded to the complaint (LVMH was released from the lawsuit, says Brown) and requested an extension from New York Judge Paul A. Engelmayer, which Brown and his attorney’s granted, giving the company until September 22 to respond. 

Harlem-born Brown LVL XIII in New York in 2012 after being laid off from his job at a luxury doll maker.  In October that year, he settled on a luxury shoe design that embedded a metal plate into the front sole of the shoe. “I researched the market and what my competitors were doing and wanted to do something that would distinguish my brand from the other brands in the market. I wanted my brand to stand apart especially since I knew I couldn’t contribute financially on the level of my competitors,” Brown says.

He considered the toe plate his brand identity in the oversaturated luxury sneaker market. In March, he filed for a trademark. A month later, the shoes began showing up on the feet of celebrities such as model Tyson Beckford and singers Chris Brown and Jason Derulo. The high-end sneakers are made with exotic skins and leathers and retail for $500 - $1,200 and were carried in several boutique stores such as Fred Segal in Los Angeles. LVL XII, says Brown, did almost $500,000 in sales in the first two month.

Early this year, Vuitton’s Spring/Summer “On the Road” collection hit the market featuring high and low top sneakers with a front toe plate. Brown says retail buyers and general customers began asking him if he was collaborating with Vuitton or if he had copied their shoes. “They released the collection into the market, sold out and it was detrimental to my brand in the process,” says Brown.

Brown had by that point relocated to Atlanta hoping to reduce costs while still tapping into a luxury market. Though the fall/winter LVL XII collection has been created, production is on hold. “Everything is done but we want to make sure the market is aware that we are not copycats,” Brown says.

In the lawsuit, Brown is asking Vuitton to stop using the toe plate and requesting monetary compensation for his losses. 

“I am willing to consider all options,” says Brown. “I am open. At the end of the day I just want justice.”

What do you think? Is the LV design too close to LVL XIII?

Dude needs to jump off a cliff. His shoe looks nothing like the LV shoe. Besides the face plate which in my opinion quite different dude has no leg to stand on. I don't know how anybody can mistake the two. He looking for a payday clearly. LV and other brands have been known to bite non high end brands but this is BS.
