7-Eleven is leaving the courthouse and heading back to the snack aisle. After filing a lawsuit against Nike for trademark infringement over a pair of Air Max 95s from The Swoosh’s planned convenience store pack in July, the global retail giant has dismissed the case with prejudice, removing the 7-Eleven legal threat from Nike’s view forever.
The Swoosh and 7-Eleven are Chill Now
First set to drop alongside a blue Air Max 95 Big Bubble colorway designed to replicate branding from Japanese convenience store Lawson, the 7-Eleven colorway featured a creamy white base with brown, orange, and green suede details to make it look like the store’s iconic signage. When the lawsuit was officially filed, Nike pulled the pairs from its retail calendar, but a few pairs still squeaked through before the recall. Prices on the aftermarket skyrocketed, with StockX showing sales upwards of $400 around July 2026.
Now, a new court filing dismissing the lawsuit puts the issue to rest once and for all, with the prejudice detail making it certain that 7-Eleven won’t refile the suit at a later date. Luckily for those who were looking for a pair, the sneaker has appeared on retailer calendars, so it looks like there will be another shot to get this thought-to-be-canceled pair after all. Prices on the aftermarket have been slowly creeping down, but now that the shoe is back on the calendar, it’s nearly at retail price.
Nike’s Lawyers are Moving On
Nike has received cease-and-desist letters and dealt with colorway lawsuits before, so we’re guessing this won’t be the last time the Nike legal team defends the brand’s designers, but consider the 7-Eleven case put to rest. Again, if you’re looking to cop the Nike Air Max 95 Big Bubble 7-Eleven, you should have a shot on December 4, 2026.
