Nike Inc., the world's largest sports apparel company, says they found shoes being sold in outlets in Shanghai and Ningbo that were made by Auchan and looked an awful lot like its Air Jordans.

The shoes bear the logo of former Chicago Bulls star Michael Jordan dunking a basketball, the copyright for which is held by Nike. They sell for about 100 yuan ($13) a pair, much less than the Authentic Air Jordan's go for.

Nike wants the Jinjiang Kangwei Shoes Co. Ltd and Jinjiang Longzhibu Shoes Co. Ltd to cease and desist making any more shoes, apologize and pay 1 million yuan in damages.

Lawyers for the defense are saying the logo wasn't

well known in China and the damages are unreasonable.

Nike, meanwhile is being sued by Reebok for infringing on a patent covering "collapsible shoe" technology.

Try saying "she sews sued shoes" ten times real fast.
