Zoom Kobe IV - Draft Days - Error Edition

Definitely some careless production...
Original date of Kobe Bryant's draft day is June 26, 1996 (06/26/96). Well, he was first drafted in the Charlotte Hornets (that's why the color way is like that), but he was traded for Vlade Divac to be in the Los Angeles Lakers.










What's This ?

RIF LA - showing some sneak peek/teaser picture of the upcoming collaboration of Supreme and Vans ???
Probably, if you visit the store you'll see the shoes in person.

Re-Cap of Kobe Four-Rings Shirt - Yellow & Purple Colorway

Sheesh, lots of Laker Bandwagon people showed up today. Let's see probably the top 10 people aren't even Laker fans or a Kobe fan. They are just in it for the hype/bandwagon. Lots of new faces/never seen before. 1st person camped out the day before. Wow ! Then, by 7-8AM, the line started growing. Around 10 or 11AM, the line was about 60+ people. By 12:30-1PM, 150+...


(Excuse the camera phone pictures. My camera was nowhere to be found until I came home around 4PM.)

Van Halen Files A Lawsuit Against Nike

Let's see, if something gets scrapped by Nike with a copyright infringement and hits the Nike outlets, you already know how much these would go up.



WWD tips us off regarding the recent lawsuit proceedings of the Eddie Van Halen camp against Nike regarding the use of one of his trademarked graphics on a pair of Nike Dunk Lows. The graphic stems from Van Halen’s infamous red/white/black striped pattern seen on his “Frankenstein” guitar which he has held the rights to since 2001. Nike’s retort “Based on the information provided to us, we have not infringed on any rights held by Mr. Van Halen,” it said. “Nike’s Dunk shoe design is not substantially similar to any of the Van Halen designs, and Nike has not referenced the ‘Van Halen’ name or image as part of any marketing campaign or promotional material associated with the shoe.” View the article below for the entire scoop.

Eddie Van Halen wants Nike to stop running with the devil.

Reps for the Van Halen rocker’s company, ELVH Inc., filed a cause of action for copyright infringement Friday in Los Angeles Federal District Court against Beaverton, Ore.-based Nike.

ELVH alleges that the design of certain Nike Dunk Low styles infringe on the copyright the company holds for the red-white-and-black-striped pattern Van Halen made famous on his “Frankenstein” guitar — and for which the musician has held the copyright since 2001.

Citing “irreparable harm and damage,” ELVH is asking for the impoundment and destruction of all the shoes in question, as well as all profits from the sale of the shoes and damages.

As previously reported by Footwear News, Van Halen released a line of men’s high- and low-top sneakers featuring the Frankenstein design earlier this spring though licensee New Jersey-based FEA Merchandising, a company specializing in recording-artist merchandise.

Lawyers for Van Halen said they had no comment beyond the filing, preferring, they said, “to try cases in court.”

In a statement provided to FN by a brand spokesperson, Nike said it was aware of the lawsuit but did not believe it to have merit. “Based on the information provided to us, we have not infringed on any rights held by Mr. Van Halen,” it said. “Nike’s Dunk shoe design is not substantially similar to any of the Van Halen designs, and Nike has not referenced the ‘Van Halen’ name or image as part of any marketing campaign or promotional material associated with the shoe.”
