New Balance Sues Decathlon Over Kiprun's 'N'-Like Logo
- New Balance filed suit on 15 September 2026 in the US District Court for the District of Massachusetts against Decathlon's US affiliates, case 1:26-cv-14235, claiming trademark infringement[1][2]
- Decathlon uses a K-like shape on its Kiprun running shoes and its mirror image on the other side, which New Balance says is 'unmistakably an N' and virtually identical to its famous 'N'; an 'N' has appeared on nearly all New Balance footwear for about 50 years[1][3]
- New Balance says it asked Decathlon to stop; Decathlon refused, saying its design is the letter K[3]
- The accused Kiprun models include the Kipstorm Elite, Kipstorm Tempo and Kipstorm Lab, after the first Kiprun model went on sale in the US in April through Decathlon's website and specialty running stores[3]
- New Balance seeks damages and a jury trial; the complaint cites social media posts likening the Kipstorm to New Balance's SC Elite[1]
