In the suit, Jordan Outdoor alleges that both companies took their distinctive designs from its Realtree line and used them in their own products. Jordan Outdoor claims that a representative from Yeezy contacted the company to inquire about using the designs, but communications ceased when the subject of licensing was brought up.

J.O.E. is asking for damages, and for the destruction of all remaining items of clothing containing the disputed designs.
