Valentino Jumps In To The Great Red-Soled Shoe Debate
In the long, painful saga that is Christian Louboutin‘s trademark infringement lawsuit against Yves Saint Laurent, much has been said of the fact that cobblers had been making red soles centuries before Loubs started featuring them in the 1990s.

YSL Officially Calls BS On Christian Louboutin’s Red Sole Lawsuit
Yves Saint Laurent‘s legal team is fighting back against a lawsuit from Christian’s Louboutin, which claims that the French fashion house’s red-soled shoes infringe its trademark red-bottomed kicks. But to hear YSL tell it, Louboutin should never have been given that trademark in the first place.

Christian Louboutin Sues Another Brand Over Red-Soled Shoes
Not only are red soles Christian Louboutin‘s signature — they’re also its trademark in the legal sense.

So it’s understandable that the brand has gotten its lawyers involved with the folks at Yves Saint Laurent, who made a red suede shoe with a red sole this spring.
