Is Nike stealing Ideas from sneaker artists?

Paisley Air Force 1, hydro dipped sneakers, coffee dip colors, these are just a few pairs that Nike has slid in its line of the collection this year. And these ideas were originally designed by the Sneaker Custom Artists.

Nike generates Approximately 800 Million Dollars per year by the sale of Air Force 1.

You must ask why this data is important?

Because over 30% of these pairs are custom designed and sold in the aftermarket sector.

And, these custom pairs have a resale value of over 2x depending on the art crafted on them.

Nike plagiarising these exact same pairs and selling them on retail might shut the business of these Custom artists.

However, Nike as a company had to do this because they have to include new trends in their manufactured products. So who is to blame here?
