Air Jordan 4 x Levi's

[churchofyeezy]

I used to work for Levi’s so lemme explain this blank tab situation...

When Levi’s produces 99 pairs of a particular sized jean, the 100th pair has a blank tab. Why? Well Levi’s has copyrights over the whole red tab. Not just the red tab w/ logo. They copyrighted this because they don’t want some random denim company slapping blank red tabs on products so they look like Levi’s from afar. But legally speaking, they can lose their copyright if they do not produce and sell blank red tabs. So Levi’s has this little game they play where the 100th pair is always blank. People would always ask me if these blank tabs were fake and I would laugh as they are asking this while shopping in a Levi’s store owned by Levi’s

So in short, the blank red tab is in fact a rare shoe however... who wants a Levi’s Jordan shoe without the iconic red tab that reads “Levi’s” on it? So placing a value to it get difficult

I like the blank red tag. Even more that it's the 100th of every denim cut, interesting fact. Thanks.

This is mostly right, except that the law is TRADEMARK LAW, not copyright law. IANAL. Levi's wants to not only protect their name from use by competitors, they also want to protect the use of the red tab itself. They don't want some other brand to stick red tabs on back pockets with the word "LUCKY" embroidered on them. In order for Levi's to continue proving that its trademarked symbol ("red tab device") is functional and and distinguishing from competitors' product, APART from the word ("Levi's"), they have to produce some of the symbol without the word. Then they can claim that they not only have exclusive rights to the word, but also exclusive rights to the symbol, the red tab itself.

Interesting Levi's store story: I was shopping with a friend at a Levi's store, and he, not being in-the-know about 501 jeans, asked a male salesperson about the difficulties of unbuttoning and buttoning a pair of 501s. The guy said, basically, there's no problem at all, and demonstrated how easily the fly is unbuttoned on the pair of 501s he was wearing. Good thing he wasn't going commando, I guess.

Prices still not coming down enough for me... So the next best thing is to admire big beautiful photos of the shoe...

Just gonna let these bad boys sit for a bit until I can find a good occasion to unds. 9 to rock and the 9.5 for the shelf unless I need it to trade for blacks in the future.

Stupid prices aren't budging!!! I just knew with all this heat dropping that we'd see these fall to $550-$600 but they're pretty steady at this point which is ticking me off...

 

[KanyIZZY]
