Nike sues Wal-Mart for ripping off shox

Good

at those shoes.

 

Wal-Mart should sue Nike for stealing their child labor business model.

 

Wal-Mart does this with all of the products it sells - eventually they take a product from a vendor & make a generic in-house version of it somehow -Costco does the same, as do all major companies to further line their pockets - can't knock the hustle, no?

If I was with Nike I would pay this no mind as imitation is the sincerest form of flattery & besides, getting up in the morning avoiding papercuts from mymattress made of money would be my prime concern...

 

QFT on both accounts....

LOL!

 

woooooooow

 

Why don't they focus on variants instead of Wal-Mart "ripping off" Shox's?

 

I always wondered what would happen to Payless/Walmart if they stopped or were to be stopped from ripping off other's designs and actually put in a fewbucks to make they're own designs.

Back in the 90's the Spalding Hakeem's were really successful. Shaqs on the other hand...so disappointing how wack his stuff was/is.


Found more pics.




My boy had a pair...one day when he was pulling on on it, the whole tongue came off.
They were tho.

 

Knock-offs are a huge part of the sneaker industry and most other areas of product. You have Hyundai's knocking off BMW's and Target apparel knockingoff high end fashion brands. It will always be this way. There is always going to be a cheaper version of a high quality product made to appeal those peoplewho simply can not afford the higher end brands. This is BIG BUSINESS and generates billions of dollars of revenue. I'm not saying it's right, butit's not going away.

 

Wal-Mart, as a rule, will go to any supplier and require the lowest price possible. Of course this comes after buying enough stock to require a company to upoutput. Starter/Nike may have well been faced with losing Wal-Mart if W-M required lower prices. Look to see if Starter is no longer sold in Wal- Mart and youwill have your answer. Chances are that Nike is just trying to have the last word. Just my $.02

 

damn nike goes hard

 

Wish they'd go after people making fakes as hard. Wal-mart might churn out a few thousand look-a-likes yet ebay
pump out a never ending supply with prices that only beg belief

 

So you think Nike Shox actually "spring"?

 

In what capacity did you do biz w/ WM? Supplier?

 

Nike sold Starter to Iconix almost exactly a year ago. By the way (and this is a little off-topic), Iconix recently signed Tony Romo to a Starterdeal.

 

since when did wal-mart make their own brand name of shoes?

 

all i know is I love me some velcros. if they come out with some lace joints it's gonna be x 5 for me. athleticworks ftw!!

 

no shop there if u want fakes, ahahahah fakes are not great.hate fakes

 

That sucks 4 wallmart.

 

not really. Walmart crushes nike as a success story, literally by a multiple of 10.

If companies were dogs, Walmart would be a rottweiler and nike a chihuahua

 

they do this, but nothing as "hard" against the variant factories. SMH

 

airspeed

 

Here is a leaked promo photo of what to expect!
