Summary
Still, the shoes quickly sold out and have since been resold for up to three times their original price, while the Walmart shoes were selling for about $20 to $30, documents filed in a Los Angeles court said.The lawsuit said that West has built the Yeezy brand on his success as an American icon, and that Walmart is profiting from his image, pointing to celebrities — such as Kim Kardashian, Justin Bieber, and Snoop Dogg — who have been photographed wearing Yeezy shoes.The Yeezy brand said in the suit that the shoes caught its attention when posts on numerous social-media sites started taking off by advertising that people could buy the shoes, which some users called "budget Yeezys," on Walmart's website.
