Kanye West to Sue Walmart Over Shoe Design

We all know copying someone or something is a form of flattery right? But when it comes to that money, it can be an issue. TMZ is reporting Kanye West is coming for Walmart and suing them for knocking off his shoes, you know, those Yeezy Foam Runner shoes. Walmart has their own version of Kanye's design and he isn't with it. On top of that, Walmart's shoes aren't even as expensive, but they damn sure do look just like Yeezy's. Kanye and his company claim Walmart copied his design and has customers confused on what they are buying. Walmart's shoes are sold online, but it's actually through third party Marketplace sellers. A company spokesperson for Walmart said, "We take allegations like this seriously and are reviewing the claim. We will respond in court as appropriate after we have been served with the complaint." But Kanye definitely has a case, plus the fact that Walmart referenced their shoes as "Foam Runner" as well, but it looks like they did take their shoes off of the website.
