These Apple Shoes Look Like Apple Lawsuit Bait

You might be one of those people who find the Apple logo is… pretty damn cool. And I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking that I need to tell you where to buy one of these Apple shoes as you browse the gallery after the break.

Counterfeit Apple Shoes

Okay, we came across these Apple shoes at Taobao, China’s largest online retailer. They look very similar to Converse’s Chuck Taylor All-Stars, but they feature an Apple logo.

According to the Taobao sellers (there’s a lot of people selling these!), the shoes are canvas and rubber shoes produced in Zhejiang. Some sellers claimed that they are from Korea. These shoes are only for ladies, there’s no sizes for men. The sellers even offer 7-Day refund policy for these shoes…

They are available in pretty colors.

The price? Each pair starts at 32 yuan ($5). It’s very affordable, however, we think Apple’s lawyers will not let them go. Considering that the Apple logo is one of the most recognizable trademarks in the world, and the company protects its trademarks with the same enthusiasm as a mother grizzly bear protecting her cubs, these Apple shoes will be banned for sure.
