One day in 1992, shoes

Christian Louboutin saw his assistant smear nail polish on his feet and inspired him to dye his shoe red.

In his view, the usual soles are too "lack of passion", and in this way, a legend was born.

Not long after, a pair of red shoe shoes became the capital of Hollywood stars and fashion celebrities. Louboutin also registered the trademark of "Red Sole" in the US patent and Trademark Office in 2008.

After another giant Yves Saint Laurent also launched the red shoe, it is no wonder that Louboutin was angry.

Although in the 2011 spring summer series introduced by Yves Saint Laurent, there are purple with purple soles in the same series.

With blue shoes and blue shoes with green soles, but it is a pair of red suede shoes with red soles that make Louboutin go to court with them.

Louboutin's complaint to the court said: "the red shoes used in the Yves Saint Laurent products are almost the same as those of the plaintiff, which has caused confusion in the public, hindered the plaintiff's maintenance of her brand image and infringed the plaintiff's logo."

Louboutin asked the court to prohibit the Yves Saint Laurent from selling the red shoes and claim $1 million for Yves Saint Laurent.

At present, the trademarks of Yves Saint Laurent, such as Tribute, Palais and Woodstock, all have the above red shoe, and are sold in many high-end department stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue, Barneys New, and so on.

Is it true that no one can be eligible to make red shoes except Louboutin? Can a brand really own a color? In Manhattan's courts, there must be a battle against these issues.

But in any case, the red sole as the logo of the Louboutin brand is so popular that anyone who sees the first reaction of the red shoes of Yves Saint Laurent will think they are Louboutin.
