The Nike vs. Omi<\/a> trademark infringement case has concluded after nearly a year and a half as the New York Court granted a default judgment in favor of the brand, ordering Omi<\/a> (Bill Omar Carrasquillo) to pay $8 million to Nike<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In November 2022, Nike filed a trademark infringement lawsuit<\/a> against Kool Kiy<\/a>, Omi, and others as the global footwear brand was adamant about protecting its intellectual properties, specifically its Air Jordan 1 and Nike Dunk silhouettes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Omi<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n

Nike must protect its design and intellectual property from bad actors who undermine the very DNA of authentic sneaker culture by promoting, copying, and selling Nike\u2019s designs as their own.<\/p>\nNike’s original statement via court documents <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In August 2023, Kool Kiy’s partner David Weeks and Nike reached a settlement<\/a> in which Weeks admitted that Nike is the exclusive owner of all registered trademarks named in the lawsuit and that he will no longer be able to produce\/distribute the Air Kiy sneakers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Kool Kiy (Nickwon Arvinger) and By Kiy LLC have not settled with the brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On April 19, 2024, the New York Court ruled that Carrasquillo and Reloaded Merch LLC violated Nike’s trademarks and would pay $8 million in damages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, Omi will no longer be able to sell any sneakers that could infringe on Nike’s registered marks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
