Vans has taken issue with a pair of sneakers retail giant Target is selling.
According to a lawsuit filed in California on Thursday, Vans is alleging that Target’s Camella Lace-Up Sneaker infringes on trademarks for its Old Skool silhouette, which the VF Corp.-backed company said “is likely to cause confusion in the marketplace.”
The lawsuit states Vans is requesting Target stop selling, marketing and promoting the allegedly trademark infringing sneakers; to have the shoes and corresponding promotional materials destroyed; and for the retailer to pay for damages and attorney fees.
The Vans Old Skool boasts a suede and canvas upper, the label’s Sidestripe branding and its signature waffle outsole. The sneakers retail for $60.
Target’s Camella Lace-Up Sneaker is executed with a polyester and polyurethane upper, and comes with a $15 price tag.
