As i was reading the SoleBlvd blog i came across this post which im sort of disappointed to see. Levis, a MAJOR company, and a legend in their industry appears to be knocking off designs from Supra, Vans and Converse. After word broke that Levis had a sneaker designed like a pair of Supra Skytops SolveBlvd decided to hit up the local FootAction and take a look at what in store themselves. Low and behold, not just a knock off of a pair of Skytops, but also ripped designs from Vans and Converse stocked on the shelves. You would think a company like Levis would know better, but it appears not.
As SoleBlvd said its not totally the fault of Levis. The work is sourced out to companies who are given full rights over the design and allowed to use the companies branding to move the products. But even with that being said, Levis had to know what was coming to them and obviously had no intentions of stopping distributing the product due to a knocked off design. Hit the jump to check out pictures of the Converse and Vans rip offs from Levis and the models they are designed after.
Wow, i just lost a lot of respect for Levis…this sh*t is lame as hell
wowow!!!
Okay, I can see the Chuck Taylor/Vans knockoff thing [if you want to make a levi’s outfit). But knocking off Supra’s footwear is just a plain shame.

this is just lame how are they sopposed to steal exactually what vans does i got i million pairs of vans & my mom suggests on trying something different like levi’s & i said no because i believe levi’s should try to try something different rather than copy
