The legal battle between Michael Jordan and the infamous knockoff Chinese brand by the name of Qiaodan has reached its end.
In the spring of 2020, the Supreme People’s Court in China ruled in favor of Jordan, which ends an eight-year trademark dispute with the Chinese sportswear company after it was accused of misleading customers into believing that the brands were connected, according to the China Daily.
The saga comes to a close (for now). Qiaodan was recently ordered to pay Jordan $46,000 for “emotional damages” along with an additional $7,600 for legal expenses, reported by Variety.
However, Qiaodan will continue to use the phonetic English spelling of Jordan’s name as the court legally cannot order the company to stop using his name entirely due to the country’s trademark laws.
Nonetheless, a silver lining remains in the court’s decision.
The company was ordered to stop using the Chinese characters of “Qiaodan” in its own corporate name and product trademarks. In addition to that, the company must issue a public apology in print and online clarifying that it has no connection to his Airness. The court also ruled that the company must take “reasonable measures” to indicate and clarify that its older trademarks have no actual ties to the basketball legend.
The legal battle between these two dates back to 2012 with Jordan filing 80 lawsuits. Keep it locked here at Nice Kicks as we expect the Jordan vs. Qiaodan battle to continue in court.

Basketball’s greatest of all time will be taking up a new sport once again. In the mid-90s, Michael Jordan took a break from basketball to play baseball and following his third retirement in 2003, Michael Jordan took up motorcycle racing with the launch of Michael Jordan Motorsports the following year.

Jordan had his hands in NASCAR dating back to 2013 when sponsoring Denny Hamlin’s truck and later signing him to Jordan Brand, but MJ is taking his involvement another step further as a team owner.

Michael Jordan and three-time Daytona 500 winner and Jordan Brand’s first NASCAR team member Denny Hamlin announced yesterday evening that they were teaming up to form a new NASCAR Cup Series team with Bubba Wallace in the driver’s seat of their car.
The announcement is one of historic significance as Jordan becomes the first Black majority owner of a full-time NASCAR premier series team in more than 60 years.
“I’ve been a NASCAR fan my whole life,” Jordan said. “The opportunity to own my own racing team in partnership with my friend, Denny Hamlin, and to have Bubba Wallace driving for us, is very exciting for me.”
Wendell Scott was the first African American NASCAR race winner in 1964.
NASCAR has historically struggled with diversity on the track and in ownership. The last Black man to own a team was Wendell Scott who owned and raced his own car in the 1960s and early 70s and was the first Black racer to win a major race in 1964.
“The timing seemed perfect as NASCAR is evolving and embracing social change more and more,” Jordan continued.
Bubba Wallace, the only full-time Black driver in NASCAR’s Cup Series, announced a couple of weeks ago that he was leaving his current team at the end of the 2020 race season.

“This is a unique, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I believe is a great fit for me at this point in my carer,” said Wallace. “Both Michael and Denny are great competitors and are focused on building the best team they can possibly can to go out and compete for race wins.”
In June, Bubba Wallace called for a ban of Confederate flags at NASCAR races which the league did just days later. He also had a Black Lives Matter paint job done to his car the same month.

Denny Hamlin’s car sponsor FedEx honored the National Civil Rights Museum on the hood of his car in June. Denny visited the museum in FedEx’s hometown of Memphis prior to the June race in Talladega.
In a statement released by Hamlin on Monday evening, Denny said that “it just makes sense now to lay the foundation” of his racing career after he retires from racing.
“Michael and Bubba can be a powerful voice together, not only in our sport but also well beyond it.” Hamlin continued.

Não seria exagero dizer que a história do AIR JORDAN 1 “Bred”, que alguns chamam de “Banned”, é uma das mais contadas de todos os tempos – quando o assunto é cultura sneaker.
O banimento do tênis preto e vermelho das quadras já sofreu várias alterações, sendo a principal delas a mudança da crença de que o modelo usado por Michael Jordan e multado pela NBA era o AJ1, quando na verdade foi o NIKE AIR SHIP, adaptado na ocasião com um solado retirado do PRO CIRCUIT, um modelo originalmente usado nas quadras de tênis.
Sem nunca ter sido colocado à venda nas lojas anteriormente, o AIR SHIP PRO “Bred” finalmente poderá ser calçado por mais pessoas. Seu cabedal segue a mesma fórmula da época, tanto escolha de materiais quanto na distribuição das cores, mas o solado continua com algumas peculiaridades.
Nesse retorno, o AIR SHIP conta com REACT em sua entressola, que garante mais conforto e leveza sem alterar muito seu visual. Embalando todo o tênis está uma caixa que parece replicar a usada pelas amostras da época, para que todos se sintam como Michael Jordan ao receber seu par.
A loja italiana Back-Door Bottega será o primeiro ponto de venda do AIR SHIP PRO “Bred” e lançará o tênis no dia 7 de agosto, em um esquema de distribuição que envolve uma pequena gincana por Bolonha.
Agora nos resta saber se ele também chegará em outras lojas ao redor do mundo. Tomara, né!?

Michael Jordan memorabilia has always been a hot seller. Following the release of The Last Dance, everything Michael Jordan-related (and worn) has turned to gold. A legendary artifact from his Airness and the early Nike/Jordan Brand days is coming back to the auction lot.
A game-worn and signed pair of Air Jordan 1s will be available to the public starting late July. The pair was worn during the 1985-1986 season following the unfortunate injury on a young Jordan. The events called upon Nike to engineer a specific sneaker to help Jordan and his fractured foot.
Take a detailed look at the pair below. Be sure to head over to Gotta Have Rock and Roll starting on July 22 to cast your bid (starting at a cool $100,000).
