Judge Orders MSCHF To Halt Sales Of Tyga’s “Wavy Baby” Sneakers

After surprisingly riding high on the hog the past few years post-Kylie “Sugar Mama” Jenner (everyone thought he’d be irrelevant after she left him), Tyga was just handed a rare “L” by a judge who ruled that MSCHF had to stop selling their Tyga’s “Wavy Baby” sneakers as they resembled the OG Old Skool Vans silhouette way too much.

According to HypeBeast, U.S. District Judge William F. Kuntz issued a temporary restraining order to MSCHF ordering them to stop selling and advertising the “Wavy Baby” kicks after Vans sued MSCHF over the sneakers claiming trademark infringement. After hearing both sides arguments, the judge sided with Vans in the matter and issued the order halting the sales of the “Wavy Baby” kicks.

A few months ago Tyga revealed that he’d be dropping some new kicks and at first glance many assumed that it was in collaboration with Vans as they really did resemble the Old Skool silhouette. They weren’t but still the sneakers sold out within an hour even though they were retailing at $220 a pop. Then on April 15 Vans decided to take action and sued MSCHF for “trademark infringement, false designation of origin, unfair competition, and trademark dilution.”

Sounds about right.
