Beaverton-base Nike continues its 2020 string of lawsuits aimed at companies whose business model is built on mass producing customized Nike shoes or shoes that except for changes to logos are copies of their silhouettes. Following a series of suits against Warren Lotus and MSCHF and winning trademark protection for its Air Jordan 1 silhouette, Nike filed a complaint against sneaker customizer Drip Creationz in federal court on Monday (July 19, 2021).

According to The Fashion Law, Nike’s suit alleges the brand has infringed on its trademark and is so doing has diluted the brand. Nike also the company of using counterfeit Air Force 1 sneakers, not that many of the shoes feature “crooked proportions, messy stitching, cheap details, and [are] taller than the real Air Force 1 shoes.”

Specializing in customized Air Force 1s, Drip Creationz site offers the classic white sneakers in 11 different design categories. Offered in full size runs, the shoes are often detailed with artists with no association with the brand or Nike. Musicians airbrushed on the artist series of sneakers included Ariana Grande, Olivia Rodrigo and Post Malone among others.

Addressing ongoing concerns that Nike may take on the community of individuals and small businesses known for customizing the brand’s shoes, the court document noted, “[Nike] has no desire to limit the individual expression of creatives and artisans, many of whom are some of Nike’s biggest fans.” The complaint added that Nike “cannot allow ‘customizers’ like Drip Creationz to build a business on the backs of its most iconic trademarks, undermining the value of those marks and the message they convey to consumers.”

The GOAT Serena Williams says farewell to her care The GOAT Serena Williams says farewell to her career as a professional tennis player in the September issue of American Vogue.

In the cover story, which is a must read, Williams shares some thoughts on her evolution away from tennis and says,"Believe me, I never wanted to have to choose between tennis and a family. I don’t think it’s fair. If I were a guy, I wouldn’t be writing this because I’d be out there playing and winning while my wife was doing the physical labor of expanding our family. Maybe I’d be more of a Tom Brady if I had that opportunity. Don’t get me wrong: I love being a woman, and I loved every second of being pregnant with Olympia. I was one of those annoying women who adored being pregnant and was working until the day I had to report to the hospital—although things got super complicated on the other side. And I almost did do the impossible: A lot of people don’t realize that I was two months pregnant when I won the Australian Open in 2017."

The cover editorial was styled by Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, who in 2020 became the first black woman to style a U.S. Vogue cover.

This cover was also one of the last projects hairstylist #LatishaChong worked on before  she sadly passed away in July this year.

Make-up by Raisa Flowers, nails by Dawn Sterling, and photography by Luis Alberto Rodriguez.
