Kanye West sues Walmart for selling Yeezy knockoffs. The multi talented super star is during the trade mogul in a multi billion dollar lawsuit for it involvement with his glamorous sneakers.

Kanye West’s sartorial ode to the Alien franchise is yet again causing a stir, as the entertainer and fashion entrepreneur just upped the ante in an ongoing trademark dispute with Walmart. On Thursday, West’s Yeezy label filed suit against the retailer for selling deeply discounted knockoffs of its (absolutely hideous) Foam Runners (I said what I said), which the suit admits are “virtually indistinguishable.”

But his stuff looks like Walmarts stuff and the suit might backfire if truly he want to engage the retail giant. But a counter suit might be coming soon which might be tagged LOGO WARS. Because his company logo look like theirs and they also share the same Chinese sweatshop supplier

The knockoffs on Walmart’s site, meanwhile, have been retailing for between $21.99 and $33.99 a pair. While Yeezy has sent Walmart legal warnings demanding that it yank the ripoff sneakers from its site, it has thus far failed to do so, according to the suit.

“Walmart is flagrantly trading off of his and Yeezy brand’s popularity by offering for sale an imitation version of the Yeezy Foam Runner,” the suit states. It further alleges that the fake versions sold through Walmart’s marketplace platform could potentially leech “hundreds of millions” from Kanye’s billion-dollar label, as well as jeopardizing the “reputation and the goodwill of the Yeezy brand” with “subpar quality.”

“Celebrities are regularly photographed wearing Yeezy clothing and footwear and using Yeezy products, which enhances the brand’s popularity and appeal to the general public,” the complaint adds (h/t Page Six). “Consumers likely would have purchased the Yeezy Foam Runner were it not for the cheaper, knock-off imitation shoe.”
