    I guess it's Nike's turn ... last year Adidas sued WalMart for the same thing.

    Now they need to go after fake shoes just as hard...as a matter of fact they should be suing the Brand Jordan Team for making fake looking Jordans as well....

    Corporate confusion...they need to go after the real reason people are confusing nikes & J's with cheap shoes sold at wal mart....their own businesspractices!!!!!

    What's interesting is that I thought that the Wal-Mart athletic shoes were made by Starter...and wasn't Starter (the new, cheap Starter - not the coolOG Starter) bought by Nike?

    They can sue them all they want, but if WalMart isn't using the same Technology, they can use the look all they want. How many shoes at Payless look likeother shoes?

    Did they sue Reebok for all those G Unit Look alike Jordans?

    You are right above when you stated they need to focus on the stuff thats actually affecting their business. The Variant Makers... not WalMart.. They do notshare the same Target Audience.

    Sad.

    The Big Bad Machine always going after the easy one's.

    Whats next.. Salons.. Elementary Schools

    I thought they already tried? Like it was said already though, they're just keeping themselves busy whilst avoiding going after those who are copying shoesoutright.
