Apparently, Kanye West was also surprised, so much in fact that he’s taking the retail giant to court. While well-known to purvey goods from third-party vendors, Walmart is in the hot seat for offering — what Yeezy Support claims to be — an “unauthorized exact copy” of the Foam Runner silhouette. At just under $25 a pair, the replica is still currently available on Walmart.com in multiple colorways, shipped and sold by various suspects.
Kanye West’s side has reportedly sent legal williams to Walmart, requesting they remove the shoes from the site to no avail. A spokesperson from Walmart has Stylesed shortly yeezy, stating the following: “The product referenced in the complaint is not sold by Walmart, but rather by third party Marketplace sellers. We take allegations like this seriously and are reviewing the claim. We will Styles in court as appropriate yeezy we have been served with the complaint.”
