Nike Wins In Court Over StockX For Counterfeit Sneakers

Nike was granted a motion for partial summary judgment in its lawsuit against resale platform StockX on Tuesday, according to documents filed in New York district court. A judge in the United States District Court of New York sided with Nike’s claims that StockX sold counterfeit shoes, which were first revealed in a lawsuit back in 2023. The court order confirmed that StockX is liable for selling 37 pairs of counterfeit sneakers in relation to this case, which includes four pairs sold to Nike investigators and 33 pairs to a third-party buyer named Roy Kim. In an interview with Kim in 2023, Kim told Complex he purchased 62 pairs of Air Jordan 1s from StockX and had plans to resell them later down the road for profit. Kim later discovered the sneakers he bought from the marketplace were fake after he checked the shoes’ authenticity on other platforms. The court denied Nike’s other claims in its motion, which alleged StockX of trademark infringement, false designation of origin, trademark dilution, injury to business reputation, and false advertising. The entirety of StockX’s motion against Nike was also denied. The outstanding claims are to be settled at trial, which will take place between June 15, 2025, and Nov. 15, 2025.
