NIKE are FINALLY suing BAPE! why did it take so long?

[@NeckCrank]

Great video. Just want to throw some more info out there for anyone who likes reading novels about streetwear. I moved to Japan in '93, lived there for about 25 years, and as luck would have it I lived maybe 15min away from the original Bape shop, NBHD's first store, and got to watch the entire "Japanese streetwear" thing grow from day 1. To truly understanding Bape from an outsider's perspective is a tricky thing. Bape/Nigo never went out of their way to sh*t on Nike by blatantly copying their shoes. Yes it looks like they just said "f**k it, let's make AF1's." I get that, but that's not the case at all. Nigo didn't pull an Air Kiy and say "f*ck it, let's ride it out until we get sued." It was never Bape throwing unoriginal shade at Nike and seeing what they could get away with before the Cease & Desist orders came jumping off the top rope so to speak. You have to understand how the Japanese think to really get it. When they modify something that essentially already exists, it's their way of paying respect to the original item by keeping the original design DNA largely intact while at the same time adding the least amount of alterations possible that speak to their aesthetic preferences. Same thing went for MADFOOT circa 2005 or so with their Mad Monty's looking very much like the Air Python/Jordan 2, and a whole bunch of other models they made looking almost exactly like a bunch of different popular models across a few different brands.

Thats actually a really good example. Another example too, is the car community in japan, that sprung up companies like Rocket bunny, Liberty walks, RWB's, Veilside or god knows how many more. All with aftermarket kits meant to modify the look of an original design of a car. And all done with respects to those original companies.

These things are not as cut and dry as they seem.

Sketchers has been ripping off Nike’s designs for years, and even Shaq rips off designs of retro Jordans for his shoe line

[@ovadoseod]

I remember being a teenager when bape first popped up on my radar from seeing Pharrell wearing the hoodies and shoes! And I all I remember was that I really feel in love with bape because they gave us what Nike wouldn’t. The colors the different materials etc.. they were a lot more expensive back then compared to AF1’s probably because it wasn’t many places to get them then but worth it if you could get a pair. It’s Nikes fault that they got so big. Nike could of easily said hey you know these kids want more than just white or black af1’s and air maxes let’s try to jazz these up with color and boom..people would have tapered off of bape because Nike would have fulfilled that want

I agree it’s going back to where it pulled out of and it’s prescience and demand in bape has increase. Nike as we know in this market is losing money at the moment. I see so many sneakers sitting right now so they are trying to find ways to drag money in now.

[@Miren2477]

Bapestas are in a whole different price range and a whole different type of buy. Not many people were going to buy an airforce but saw a bapesta and didn't buy the airforce. That just doesn't happen, and the cost of the court case outweighs that of lost customers.

[@sneakernomics5547]

Yeah it’s a very expensive af1 that comes with its own slice of sneaker history - it’s an interesting shoe that’s for sure

[@truevanpencil5403]

I don’t think that argument has much merit, legally speaking. Imagine if some person made Nike AF1 or Jordan 4s but made them by hand, only using the best leather/materials. They’d cost 5 times the amount minimum but would still, in essence, breach design copy-write laws. Dif price point/market wouldn’t negate that imo

[@Miren2477]

@@truevanpencil5403 As stated in the video, copyright laws exist to prevent loss of income from a company because a potential customer went to a different company for their product. I'm not saying that Nike doesn't have grounds to sue BAPE, I'm just stating that it doesn't make much direct financial sense to pursue that lawsuit since not many potential Nike customers would choose BAPE over an AirForce 1. If anything, someone interested in BAPE but not willing to pay the hefty retail would probably turn to Nike for a good alternative.

[@truevanpencil5403]

@@Miren2477 I’d have agreed a decade ago but nowadays any hype AF1 is at least as expensive as a pair of Bape sta. Plenty of pairs sell way above that price point too. Maybe that’s why Nike think there is some merit in legal action. Via collabs Nike has almost normalised the fact it’s not uncommon to see collab pairs regularly exceed the price point of Bapes kicks.

[@Miren2477]

@@truevanpencil5403 Those are resale prices. Nike does not make any money off resale. Retail prices are around 130 for colors and 170 for collabs. The sneaker market is also down for resale, with most af1s reselling for around 100 while Bapestas are reselling for upwards of 600.

Great video man was very informative. I was introduced to you through your short skits and I think this is the second "long" video i have watched (first yesterday). It was nice to hear that actual history because i was always confused & wondered how bape got away, so to speak, with basically copying the AF1 silhouette, this kinda makes sense know. I also wonder if nike let them get away with it for years so they could sue them once the company had potentially made a lot of money and was worth more to get more money from them.

[@sneakernomics5547]

Hey man thanks for the sub and comment - I think the reason they didn’t sue was because there was no real market threat to Nike by the Bapesta in the USA - I don’t think they waited for bape to become rich - they’ve long been a successful brand - I think it’s more to do with the increase in market presence in USA and these other models that have brought the smoke

It's obvious that Bape used the Dunk's overall design to develop the Sk8 Sta, but that's where the "borrowing/stealing" ends. Bape has made some type of changes to basically every panel on the shoe. This will matter in court. I could see a judge siding w/ Nike on the Bape Sta, and probably the Court Sta (because it's too much like a Jordan 1 low)....but the Sk8 Sta is different enough to merit it's existence. ....but let 'em make Bape cease & desist w/ the shoes....by all means. It'll make my stack of Sk8 Stas actually hold some value rather than me buying them just because they're incredible (...and they very much are incredible). In-hand, the Sk8 Sta sh*ts on all but the most coveted/highly collectible Dunk SB collabs/quickstrikes/whatever. The Bape sneakers are made to a much, much higher standard than Nike.

Whomever represents Bape in this case needs to present a Dunk High and a Jordan 1 and ask Nike if they're the same thing. Honestly, all of the bapes seem to have more differences between them and the Nike's they are allegedly knocking off and the dunk and jordan.

@@sneakernomics5547 Oh 100%, but the star on the side makes it pretty clear to anyone they aren't a Nike product, in fact the first time I saw bapes I thought they belonged on one of those sites with all the funny knock off brands. The issue here is the precedent it sets, I mean if I Squint hard enough my Puma rebounds look like dunks/Jordan 1's, I mean how different does something have to be to be different. This is just reminding me of when apple tried to sue Samsung over rounded edges lol Also to be honest it would surprise me if Bape actually consulted lawyers before re-issuing the original.

[@YanTheBuilder]

You’re absolutely right about most of what you said but the legitimacy behind nikes claim could be real with the history behind them & bapes response. Legally in court it could hold up & thats what bad about it all nike has a case . Why would the ceo step down after being call out that should be a red flag & a white one . I like what you said I even partially agree Nike played them because they could destroy Bape or take them over & make everyone work for them .Corporations are ruthless & the media coverage of anything will just make the victor look like the good guys.
