VF Corp. is suing Brooklyn-based MSCHF and its collaborator Tyga over Wavy Baby, a take off of Vans’ classic Old Skull sneaker. The complaint alleges trademark infringement, false designation of origin, unfair competition and trademark dilution, and that MSCHF “shamelessly marketed” the warped sneaker in a direct attempt to confuse consumers, “siphon sales” and damage Vans’ intellectual property rights, per Sourcing Journal.
