As the great Ron Burgundy once said, "Boy, that escalated quickly. I mean, that really got out of hand fast." After responding to Nike's lawsuit last month regarding its NFT project, StockX has now been hit with another filing from the Beaverton brand. Adding to its first complaint against the resale giant, the sportswear company are now claiming that they purchased four pairs of sneakers from StockX between December 2021 and January 2022 - and all four of them turned out to be fake.
Of the four pairs bought, the " Patent Bred " was the only one that was mentioned by name. Released at the very end of last year, this is pretty much an extremely glossy version of the iconic " Bred ", replacing the usual matte leather panels with patent leather. This sneaker was the only one that was brought up because not only is it one of the eight StockX Vault NFTs Nike says is infringing on its trademarks, but it's also StockX's best-selling sneaker NFT with 518 sold at the time of the amendment.
