Overview
- Nike filed the lawsuit on August 11–12 in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, naming Edison Chen and his Juice Los Angeles entity as defendants.
- The complaint alleges that Juice Los Angeles failed to pay roughly $126,615 for goods and services provided by Nike.
- Early filings and third-party trackers listed a $126.6 million demand that industry sources now say was likely a clerical error.
- The federal docket remains unavailable and both sides have declined to comment on the litigation.
- Observers view the suit as tied to Chen’s move from a nearly 20-year CLOT-Nike partnership to Adidas and part of Nike’s recent pattern of aggressive legal enforcement.
