Recently, #NIKE filed a Trademark Infringement lawsuit against #MSCHF Product Studio re its unofficial 'SATAN SHOE' collab with lil Nas X. We change the pace of play this week and hear from NYC based Sneaker Lawyer - Zak Kurtz - on the details of the suit; what MSCHF really risked in promoting an unofficial collab; and how a legally official collab should work by contrasting the Virgil Abloh Jordan 1 'Off-White' collab and licensing deals.

Upon further review, 2020 wasn't ALL THAT BAD (\-: notwithstanding the COVID-19 Pandemic :-/). We basically got all sports back in one form or another. Sure we all miss sitting the stands, but there was still a lot going on behind the scenes in re to Biz/Legal matters that ultimately were the determining factors in the ability for sporting events to even occur.  

Come bring in the New Year 2021 as we vibe out and rap about 2020's most interesting Sports Biz/Legal aspects, lawsuits, and hot stories. We'll be covering the importance of the 'Force Majeure' Clause; NCAA Name, Image, & Likeness (NIL) Changes; Zion Williamson's Breach of Contract Dispute; and 'Lemon Pepper' Lou's Magic City X Lemon Pepper Wing Scandal.

Season 1; Episode 16 - All good things must come to an end, right?!? Sike nah, only the seasons have changed and we're back this week with our latest installment.  Ever wonder why that new video for Drake's banger, 'Laugh Now, Cry Later,' looks and feels a lot like a NIKE ad/commercial, complete with superstar athlete cameos, views of NIKE's Beaverton, OR HQ, and cringeworthy jumpshots, route running, field awareness, and punch-throwing technique?!? Well, come chop it up with us as we rap about how and why this was a fancy way of fulfilling one's appearance requirements to promote the brand (secret - the answers lies in the endorsement/sponsorship agreements' appearance clauses/definitions which imposes a contractual obligation on the talent).  

After we get you hip re that, we'll jump into out first ever NO CAP Recap. In this segment we'll update you on the latest developments from the alleged NFL armed robbery/pay off situation and the newest lawsuit filed as a result of the Kobe Bryant's tragic helicopter crash.
