A legal spat among apparel companies has produced a lawsuit tied to the ongoing federal investigation into corruption in college basketball.
In the lawsuit, Skechers accuses adidas of false advertising and unfair competition related to the college hoops scandal in a complaint filed Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, Western Division.
The lawsuit, first reported by the Courier Journal, alleges that adidas “engaged in a deliberate, deceptive and illegal campaign to prop up the reputation and supposed brand appear of its footwear products.”
