Steve Madden has filed a lawsuit against Adidas in federal court, claiming that the sportswear company is trying to stifle its sales of fashion sneakers, specifically the Viento and Janos designs featuring non-parallel bands. Madden argues that Adidas' long-standing complaints about footwear designs that do not resemble its iconic three-stripe style are unfounded and that the use of band designs is commonplace in the fashion industry. The lawsuit seeks to affirm that Madden's designs do not infringe on Adidas' trademarks.
