Nike Settles, Kool Kiy Ordered To Pay $1 Million And Stop The Sale Of Lookalike Sneakers

Share this post

In November 2022, Nike filed a lawsuit against Nickwon Arvinger, owner of By Kiy LLC, which operates the brand Kool Kiy. The paperwork, which was filed at the southern district of New York, alleged that Kool Kiy copied Nike's Air Jordan 1 and Dunk designs and sold them as original pieces. It was reported that on May 15, a settlement had been reached. The terms of the confidential agreement assert that Kool Kiy must pay $1 Million and stop the sale of the lookalike sneakers.

Nike Jordan 1s

This is not the first time Nike has had to defend its designs. Just last month, the company closed a similar case. Nike went after the brand, Reloaded Merch LLC, owned by Bill Omar Carrasquillo, who is better known as "Omi in a Hellcat." He was ordered to pay $8 million to Nike in a default judgment by the court. Nike alleged that his designs copied the Air Jordan 1 and Nike Dunk editions. That judgment was reached last month.

Notting Hill Carnival Bursts Into Colour for Opening Day

The streets of west London have been filled with colour and sound for the first day of the annual Notting Hill Carnival. Musicians and dancers in bright costumes took to the tarmac for the children's parade, as the largest street party in Europe got under way. The day began with an explosion of colour as revellers met for J'ouvert at 06:00 BST ahead of the children's parade, with the streets awash with bright paint and powder.  J'ouvert, which means "daybreak" or "opening of the day" in Frenc

Katy Perry Joins Blue Origin All-Female Crew NS-31 Mission

Pop singer Katy Perry is set to head to space as part of Blue Origin’s first all-female flight crew. Blue Origin has not announced a specific launch date for the NS-31 mission, but it is expected to occur this spring. This mission will mark the first spaceflight with an all-woman crew since Valentina Tereshkova's solo journey in 1963. She’ll be joined by former correspondent Lauren Sanchez (who happens to be Bezos’ fiancée) and TV host Gayle King. The six-person crew - all women - is rounded o

H.E.R. Addresses Talk of a Supergroup With SZA & Ella Mai

H.E.R. Addresses Talk of a Supergroup With SZA & Ella Mai

It began, as many music conversations now do, with a single post. On February 19, an X user proposed that SZA, H.E.R., and Ella Mai form a trio called S.H.E., a tidy acronym that seemed almost too fitting to ignore. H.E.R. responded briefly but warmly: “Thank you,” followed by a prayer hands emoji. The other two artists have not addressed the suggestion. The idea quickly evolved in the replies. Some fans imagined adding Ari Lennox to expand the lineup, while others playfully suggested entirely

J. Cole Calls His Past Albums “Side Quests,” Says The Fall-Off Isn’t a Goodbye

With the release of The Fall-Off, J. Cole has prompted fans to reconsider how his catalog fits together. In a recent installment of his “Trunk Sale” tour vlog, he spoke candidly about where the album sits in the larger arc of his career. The project, he suggested, serves as the culmination of a story he has been telling since his early mixtape days. In that framing, some of his midcareer releases function less as central chapters and more as creative departures. “If you hear the whole progressi

Eric Dane Remembered: How McSteamy, ‘Euphoria’ and His ALS Battle Shaped a Lasting TV Legacy

Eric Dane, who died at 53 following a battle with ALS, is being remembered not just as Grey’s Anatomy’s charismatic Dr. Mark “McSteamy” Sloan but as a TV presence who evolved from heartthrob to complex, conflicted characters. Tributes from former co‑stars and collaborators describe him as generous on set and highlight the emotional weight he brought to roles like Cal Jacobs on Euphoria, with many recalling his range as the reason his characters stayed with viewers long after an episode ended.

WILLOW Enters a New Era with Genre‑Bending Project ‘petal rock black’

WILLOW is officially in her petal rock black era, dropping a new project that pushes her even further from her pop‑radio origins and deeper into experimental rock and alt‑soul. Released as a surprise, petal rock black arrives with a moody visual aesthetic and cryptic teases that match the album’s inward‑looking, guitar‑heavy sound. The project builds on the emo, pop‑punk and alt textures of her recent work but layers in heavier, more psychedelic instrumentation, with WILLOW leaning into riff‑dr
