Levis Knocks Off Supra, Vans & Converse
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. Via: SoleBlvd
