Walmart has been at least temporarily prohibited from selling its private label shoes that Vans alleges are direct knockoffs of the fashion brand’s bestsellers. The shoe company argued that the retailer has "flooded the market with cheap, low-quality, and confusingly similar shoes that harm Vans’ goodwill and reputation." In banning Walmart from selling the contested shoes, the judge in the case wrote that the similarities to Vans' stripe mark were “unmistakable,” according to Retail Dive.
