Oct 20 (Reuters) - 7-Eleven will dismiss a trademark lawsuit that accused Nike NKE.N of copying its signature orange, green and ​red stripe design for a pair of Air Max 95 shoes, the convenience store chain told a Dallas federal court.
7-Eleven on Monday moved to dismiss its case with prejudice, which means it cannot be refiled
Spokespeople for the companies did not immediately respond to requests for comment or for more information on the filing, including whether the dispute was settled
Irving, Texas-based 7-Eleven sued Nike on July 2 in an attempt to block sales of the sneakers, which were set for release on July 11, or "7-Eleven Day"
7-Eleven alleged that Nike designed the shoe to evoke the convenience store and said consumers would mistakenly believe the ​shoe was sponsored or ​endorsed by the chain 
Nike did not respond to the allegations in court
The case is 7-Eleven Inc v. Nike Inc, US District Court for the Northern District of Texas, No. 3:26-cv-02201.
For 7-Eleven: Cole Ramey of Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton
For Nike: attorney information not available
