While Nike, Inc. is getting $100 million in a gift on one side of the ocean, the company is winning lawsuits on the other side.
Nike won two lawsuits against Chinese shoemakers and the local operation of a French supermarket.
The two illegally copied the Air Jordan logo.
A Shanghai court awarded Nike 350,000 yuan
($46,100)Employees of Nike happened to find shoes made by the companies selling the fakes for 100 yuan ($13) at a pair of outlets in Shanghai and Ningbo.
Authentic Air Jordans sell for much more.
Who would have thought that they would have been caught....until, a Nike employee just happened to be running by.
But, then that's what Nike shoe wearers do, isn't it? Run.
