Nike<\/a><\/strong> claims that they’ve purchased four pairs of counterfeit sneakers on StockX<\/a><\/strong>, adding a counterfeit claim to the ongoing NFT lawsuit<\/a> with the secondary sneaker marketplace. Nike requested a federal judge to let them add counterfeiting and false advertising claims to the trademark-infringement lawsuit against StockX according to Bloomberg<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThose four pairs of counterfeit shoes were all purchased within a short two-month period on StockX\u2019s platform, all had affixed to them StockX\u2019s \u2018Verified Authentic\u2019 hangtag, and all came with a paper receipt from StockX in the shoe box stating that the condition of the shoes is \u2018100% Authentic,\u2019\u201d Nike said in a court filing Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This debunks StockX’s claim that all the items that go through their verification process are 100% authentic, and whether or not this claim will be added to the ongoing lawsuit is still unknown. StockX has responded stating that the claim is “baseless” and that hundreds of Nike employees have purchased sneakers through their marketplace, including current senior executives.

Approximately 36 of those pairs were sold to a single buyer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nike followed these claims saying, “StockX advertised for years, without these documents, that its authentication process guarantees 100 per cent\u00a0of the goods sold on its platform are genuine.”<\/p>\n\n\n\nUPDATE 12\/19\/22:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
