Kanye West Suing Walmart Over Foam Runner Knock-Offs


Kanye West files a lawsuit against retail giant Walmart for selling a knock-off version of his popular foam runner shoes...

Kanye West is suing Walmart with claims the retail giant is stepping on his “iconic” fashion brand by selling knockoff versions of his Yeezy Foam Runner.
The music and fashion mogul filed his claim in Los Angeles County Superior Court Thursday, citing California’s Unfair Competition Law, which prohibits fraudulent or deceptive business practices.
“Walmart is flagrantly trading off of West’s and the Yeezy brand’s popularity by offering for sale an imitation version of the Yeezy Foam Runner,” the filing states.
