SNEAKER giant Nike sued online reseller StockX in New York federal court last week for selling unauthorized images of Nike shoes, marking the latest lawsuit over digital assets known as non-fungible tokens (NFTs). READ:

Nike said StockX’s NFTs infringe its trademarks and are likely to confuse consumers. Its lawsuit asked for unspecified money damages and an order blocking their sales.

A representative for the company did not respond to a request for comment, nor did Nike or its attorneys. The complaint said StockX has sold over 500 Nike-branded NFTs. The lawsuit said complaints about the NFTs’ “inflated prices and murky terms of purchase and ownership” and buyers’ doubts about the legitimacy of StockX’s model have hurt Nike’s business reputation.
