On 17 February 2026, 1587 Sneakers sued in federal court in New York over the use of “1587 Prime” by a restaurant associated with Mahomes and Travis Kelce. The shoe company alleged trade mark confusion, especially concerning branded apparel sold by the restaurant, and sought civil remedies.

In August, 1587 Sneakers replied that the players had been central to choosing and promoting the disputed name; no final ruling on these arguments was found.
