Official Air Jordan 1 Retro High Thread Vol: Best Model/Thread

[forgotmyoldname]

So I was thinking about getting my kid (3yr) a matching pair of lost & found. Is ebay the best route? I've never bought him any real name brand shies dance he's young and was thinking it'd be neat to have a matching pair with his old man.

I hadnt seen the lawsuit response post by these 2 goofballs posted in here

These dudes stole Nike’s whole flow and wanna act like they the victims

Hopefully Nike will welcome them like they did Geiger.

How much do they sell those boot legs for? Hopefully, not more than the original.

How did the other guy rip off the OG rip off’s lightning bolt?

Where’s the Spiderman meme?

Nike Sues Designers Kool Kiy & Omi for Trademark Infringement

Nike files a federal trademark infringement lawsuit against designers Kool Kiy and Omi over alleged Air Jordan 1 and Dunk knockoffs. Read the full story here.

news.yahoo.com

"In a conversation with Complex, Carrasquillo (Omi) says he believes the Omi Air Jordan 1-inspired model is different enough from the real thing but that the Dunk-inspired shoe will be an issue, admitting not enough changes were made from the original. “Everyone’s doing it, so I just thought, ‘It ain’t nothing,’ which was stupid on my part,” Carrasquillo says of the decision to not significantly alter the Dunk-inspired sneaker."

the part I bolded had me weak

Worked for Bape I guess.

So besides the lightning bolt and possibly materials, everything else is the same?

If he was your boy would you cop to show your support ?

Spoiler

one of my boys is on the training staff for my favorite NFL team. I’ve been calling for him to get fired every time a player goes down with injury. He was even on the Washington team that drafted RGIII.

I ordered my women's varsity reds a week ago and they still haven't shipped.

...I guess this is normal?

I’m guessing Nike/JB only cares when it is amateurs doing it vs hyped brands paying homage. Remember when SLP released their version of AJ1s? Not a peep out of Nike/JB then lol:

People say this

but Bape went back and changed up the midsole when they stared releasing again, because of patent infringement.

That’s all you have to do? Change the midsole lol and have a different logo (the Star and line)?

Those SLH resemble AJ 1s but it’s not as egregious as those other joints.

They changed the lines on the upper also. It's how the lower tier Payless and Walmart kicks are able to release kicks, because they change it enough where it's not infringing on the patents. That's pretty much with everything. I don't think Nike had patent for Uptown's 15-20 years ago, so Bape got away with it initially.

Didn't realize the quality was bad. I assumed for $300 it was.

Only has to be like 20% different in order to avoid copyright infringement. Those are very similar, but different enough in apperance just looking at that one wngle, compared to the shoes in question which are basically a carbon copy minus the trademark Swoosh.

They charging $300!!

Yeah, nah.
