Zach Levet Illegally Selling Nike Embroidered Apparel?

Hey Zach, if you are reading this I would suggest that you lay low for a while. Delete all your social media (Instagram, youtube, strava). I know it will suck to lose all those followers and subscribers and it is a lot of money that you are missing out on but it is nothing compared to what Nike is going to sue you for. You got that van and you should probably just go somewhere remote where no one can find you and then maybe you'll have the desire to train.

This is one of the funniest posts I have read on LR. Good job OP.

Update: looks like he saw this thread. He took down the pic of him with his sewing machine, and took ALL items off his Etsy store. Too bad the reviews are still there.

Deleted the comment about it on Strava too.

I hope he is barred from professional running for life and fined by the courts. This type of behavior is disgusting.

Too bad that all of this info has already been forwarded to Nike before he deleted it. I hope the kid reenrolls in school because he's going to be needing a degree.

I am excited to see this man ruined. Should have stayed with breaking 14

We needed an adjustment to the size, and Bashir was so helpful in getting us the correct size quickly. Thank you!

Copy/pasted from one of the reviews on Etsy. Proves that it is Bashir and Levet's store.

Just for documenting purposes, here are some screenshots:

Someone also mentioned making a Chanel sweatshirt, and here is one of those:

What happened?

Ok I see a lot of reviews for items that are custom Nike embroidery. Wow!

Looks like Nike already sent him the cease and desist letter.

Why should he also be banned from running? Is he a dopper too?

It really irks me to see people like Emma Abrahamson commenting on his post calling him a businessman. SHE knows business and works hard. HE is a scam artist.

It looks like Etsy gives counterfeiters a platform to sell products. A quick search of Nike and Adidas results in many apparel items that appear to be handmade by the sellers. Is Etsy to blame here as well??

Zach should be in prison.

Might as well leave it up I suppose. The damage has been done.

Why would he even boast about his embroidery company? He mentions this huge source of money then proceeds to not even name the company, immediately making the situation sketchy. Was all of this attention really worth including the extra income in his youtube video? He should have just never mentioned it and kept making money
