Interpreting from the reports, Walmart has removed the “fake adidas YEEZY Foam Runners” from its website after receiving the lawsuit from Kanye West and the YEEZY company.
Previously sold for $23.99 and $24.49 USD, the “Daeful Mens Womens Kids Summer Beach Shoes Foam Runner Anti Slipper Sandals Casual” by Walmart online were exact copies of YEEZY’s unique design which is is priced for $80 USD. According to the news of the legal action, the retail chain issued an official statement citing, the shoes were being offered by a third party and not by Walmart directly. Adding on to it, “We take allegations like this seriously and are reviewing the claim. We will respond in court as appropriate after we have been served with the complaint” says Walmart.
It is to be observed that other sites are still selling the knockoffs, although no legal actions have been taken by Kanye West and YEEZY yet.
