    Alright.. Now I've seen the full video... Gotta admit, nothing but mad respect for this. The marketing strategy is absolutely incredible, the cleats look like they could have been a real release and the link ups between other accounts is so smart. I WANT A PAIR but can't afford them unfortunately.

      Unfortunately, there's some shit about using big companies to boost a little one and fooling people as a way to gain some visibility in the market. He can answer in court as person and as company for this, and against nike... no way he can win. I hope that nothing happens to his company, but he actually need to, at least, be warned about this.

      @@Jackson_-yx2lm it absolutely is illegal to use a brand commercially without having their ok. But on the other hand I don't think he has to fear anything from Nike. Companies these days are all about focusing on their brand reputation. That's what deliberates them from selling one product for one customer segment. If we talk about value proposition, this guy for example enriches the brand's value because of his creativity. All Nike has to do is sit down, watch, enjoy and sometimes later get in contact with him and boost their range.

Then there is quality of the work. People always think the artist job is easy but then when it gets broken down they see why they charge so much. People forget to include all these costs when they don't own a business

    To everyone who thinks this is copyright infringement. . . It's probably also Trademark infringement since the Nike name is trademarked. And it's arguably fraud to use footyheadlines' watermark on his own post to pretend it came from them. Not a lawyer. At the same time I'm still pretty impress he fool this many people but yeah super illegal. If I worked at Nike, I might have to give him a job though for designing something so many people seem to want.

  • @JohnSmith-vl8sd
    @JohnSmith-vl8sd 6 ปีที่แล้ว +61

    Nike would have used an actual tiger in their marketing ad, super common practice using animals to cross compare with products. Then probably spew some hyped up bs that makes the customer become more "animalistic" on the pitch if they buy the shoes, with some tagline "release your tiger.." or "release your animal". Although this example is humorous, you have started with a solid base of an already established world brand in nike, copying trademarks like footyheadlines and then actually made a cool design. It's not super difficult to achieve what you did but emphasises that complete ridiculousness of products and their subjective value vs actual value for what you're getting and for that I applaud you. Hopefully you don't get sued, but if I was at nike I would see this as good promotion, steal your idea, not credit you and make money of it.

      There are 3 reasons why this wasn't illegal. First he revealed that these were not an official Nike product before selling them, second fair use as he altered the shoes in a way that made them distinct enough from the originals, and three first-sale doctrine exists. No laws were broken, and he is entirely within the law.

    @ProfJul 5 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    This is trademark infringement without approval from Nike. There may be arguments that you can rely on the fair use doctrine if your customization creates transformative works of art, but the fair use doctrine is quite narrow and if you sell the modified products commercially for profit, you almost certainly won't qualify for fair use. Nike is very aggressive in enforcing its trademarks and other IP rights, so you would be taking a major economic risk. It can cost tens of thousands of dollars to defend a trademark litigation. You need to retain and consult with legal counsel before you move forward with this project---and most likely you will need to obtain permission from Nike (which will require you to enter into a license agreement and pay royalties).
