Virgil Abloh’s OFF-WHITE brand and sneaker and sports apparel powerhouse, Nike, have had quite a lucrative relationship starting way back in 2017. Since then, we’ve seen some iconic silhouettes such as OFF-white touches on the Air Force 1, Zoom Fly, Jordan 5, Jordan 4 and more.

Now, for 2021, the partnership keeps the ball rolling with 50 iterations of the OFF-WHITE x Nike Dunk Low.

No release date has been set for the Off-White™ x Nike Dunk Low “The 50” collection as of the release of this post. Nike states that more information will be released soon. Stay tuned for more info.

Bootleggers Beware: Nike Is Granted A Federal Trademark For The Air Jordan 1

/ StaFFF / Leave a comment

The USPTO has granted Nike, Inc. official registration certificates for the brand’s iconic, and perhaps most copied silhouette, the Air Jordan 1. Trademarks are in for the Air Jordan 1 in the High, Low and Low SE models which will put an end to unauthorized productions of the shoe.

Bootleggers will now have to pick a different shoe other than anything created by Nike, Inc as the legendary shoe brand has been on top of any shenanigans aimed at tarnishing its reputation.

As reported by Sneaker Law Firm, the Air Jordan 1’s certification means that the silhouette will now be considered a unique intellectual property by the US government. To add, counterfeit companies can no longer just change up the logo or make little alterations here and there as they previously have done.

Nike To Sue MSCHF Over The Lil Nas X ‘Satan Shoes’

/ StaFFF / Leave a comment

Lil Nas X’s troll game comes with a consequence as his sneaker collaboration with MSCHF for the ‘Satan Shoes’ has drawn the unwanted attention of Nike.

The ‘Satan Shoes’ feature a black and red colorway adorned on Nike’s Air Max 97 silhouette and even contain a drop of human blood. MSCHF is a company based out of Brooklyn, NY and it was a group of six employees that actually donated their blood for the sneaker. The drop of blood is mixed with the ink that filled the air bubble on the sole.

On Monday, MSCHF released 666 pairs of the sneaker for $1,018 in which it sold out within one minute. Consequently, Nike had filed a lawsuit against the company stating:

…unauthorized Satan Shoes are likely to cause confusion and dilution and create an erroneous association between MSCHF’s products and Nike. Decisions about what products to put the ‘swoosh’ on belong to Nike, not to third parties like MSCHF. Nike requests that the court immediately and permanently stop MSCHF from fulfilling all orders for its unauthorized Satan Shoes.”

Per Nike’s lawsuit

Nike Launches First-Ever Hands-Free Sneaker

/ StaFFF / Leave a comment

Taking your shoes off and putting them on has gotten a whole lot easier thanks to Nike’s new sneaker, the Nike GO FlyEase.

The design of the silhouette is the first ever for the SWOOSH brand as they initially designed the sneaker for people with disabilities, however, the functionality makes it easier and quicker for anyone wearing the pair.

“We talked to women who were in their third trimester of pregnancy and bending over is not so easy. But this innovation makes it easier for her to kick on and kick off her shoes. That applies to anyone who has ever been on the go, with their hands full and trying to somehow get their feet into their shoes without dropping what they’re carrying.

Sarah Reinertsen, Nike FlyEase designer and Paralympic triathlete

The Nike GO FlyEase is slated to release on February 15, 2021 for $120 at select Nike retailers.
