IndiaTravis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes are involved in a trademark lawsuit with 1587 Sneakers over the name of their restaurant, 1587 Steakhouse. The case has entered a critical phase as 1587 Sneakers challenges the NFL players' claim that they do not directly control the LLC behind the restaurant. The sneaker brand argues that the Chiefs stars are attempting to distance themselves from the business, despite promoting it publicly. 1587 Sneakers claims the steakhouse's name causes confusion with its existing brand, having used '1587' since April 2023, before the players filed their trademark application in December 2023.

Both parties may need to disclose more information about ownership and branding decisions.
