Rob Walker recently wrote an article surrounding a Cease & Desist letter Mike founder, Scott Nelson received from Nike last month. The demand includes an “orderly withdrawal of all infringing products from the market,” and that Mike23.com be “disabled immediately, at least to the extent that any page shows or references an infringing mark, logo or design or references Michael Jordan.” Nelson states that he’s in no position to wage a legal fight. We visited Mike23.com and currently the online shop is closed, no products are viewable, the splash page has been changed from the logo you see above to one that bares no resemblance to any Nike-related logos. We really hope this won’t mean the end of Mike, since we have been big fans for a while now, and can only hope that this gets resolved soon.
