近日，尼日利亚最大的安全鞋制造厂即将启用，该工厂由 Yikodeen Company Limited 所有，这将显著促进当地生产和工业增长。

Recently, Nigeria’s largest safety-footwear manufacturing plant—owned by Yikodeen Company Limited—is set to come online, a move expected to significantly boost local production and industrial growth.

周一的一份声明指出，Yikodeen 公司有限公司即将在拉各斯正式推出其超现代化扩建的制造工厂。

A statement released on Monday revealed that Yikodeen Company Limited will soon officially unveil its ultra-modern, expanded manufacturing facility in Lagos.

声明中表示，“投产仪式定于 2025 年 6 月 24 日举行，将由拉各斯州州长巴巴吉德·桑沃-奥卢主持，来自政府、工业和传统机构的其他尊贵嘉宾也将出席。

The statement noted, “The commissioning ceremony is scheduled for 24 June 2025 and will be presided over by Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, with other eminent guests from government, industry, and traditional institutions in attendance.”

此次活动不仅对 Yikodeen 至关重要，也对尼日利亚更广泛的工业发展目标至关重要。扩建工程竣工后，Yikodeen 目前拥有西非最大的安全鞋制造厂，该工厂占地 12 万平方英尺，拥有最先进的设施，每天可生产 5 000 双安全靴。

The event is critical not only for Yikodeen but also for Nigeria’s wider industrial-development goals. With the expansion complete, Yikodeen now operates the largest safety-footwear plant in West Africa—a 120,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility capable of producing 5,000 pairs of safety boots per day.

与公司 2016 年成立之初相比，产量增长了 250 倍，当时日产量仅为 20 双。

This marks a 250-fold increase from the company’s founding in 2016, when daily output was just 20 pairs.

Yikodeen 公司有限公司首席执行官 Atunde Olayinka 表示，此次启用不仅仅是一次剪彩仪式。

Atunde Olayinka, Chief Executive Officer of Yikodeen Company Limited, said the commissioning is far more than a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

更是宣示：“我们开启的不是一座工厂，而是尼日利亚乃至非洲工业自立新可能的闸门。”

Rather, he declared, “We are not merely opening a factory; we are unlocking a gateway to new possibilities for industrial self-reliance in Nigeria and across Africa.”

公司表态，凭借新建产能，将积极探索向西非及中非邻国出口，为国内外市场提供符合合规与产量要求的产品。

The company stated that with its new capacity, it will actively explore exports to neighbouring West and Central African countries, supplying products that meet compliance and volume requirements in both domestic and international markets.

耐克与Shoe Surgeon达成和解明确运动鞋定制的界限

近日，耐克与知名球鞋定制师 The Shoe Surgeon 达成和解协议，为球鞋定制行业划定了重要的法律边界。

Recently, Nike reached a settlement with renowned sneaker customizer The Shoe Surgeon, setting important legal boundaries for the sneaker customization industry.

此案始于耐克对 Ciambrone 的起诉，指控他在未经授权的前提下，利用耐克鞋款进行再创作并对外销售，涉及 Air Jordan 和 Dunk 等热门款式。耐克认为这种行为不仅侵犯了商标权益，还可能让消费者误以为这些定制鞋是官方出品。

The case originated with Nike’s lawsuit against Ciambrone, accusing him of reworking and selling Nike shoe models—including popular lines such as the Air Jordan and Dunk—without authorization. Nike argued that this practice not only infringed upon its trademarks but could also mislead consumers into believing the customized shoes were official products.

根据和解条款，Ciambrone 被禁止在任何商业场合使用耐克的 Swoosh 标志、鞋型轮廓或其他核心设计元素。这一禁令也延伸至他所运营的定制培训课程和零售平台。

Under the settlement terms, Ciambrone is barred from using Nike’s Swoosh logo, shoe silhouettes, or other core design elements in any commercial context. The prohibition also extends to the customization workshops and retail platforms he operates.

不过，法院在最终判决中也为个性化创作留出了空间：允许“1 对 1”的个人定制服务，只要明确标注非耐克授权，并提醒消费者可能会影响鞋子的原有性能。

However, the court’s final order leaves room for personalized creation: it allows one-on-one personal customization services, provided that they clearly state they are not Nike-authorized and warn consumers that the modifications may affect the shoes’ original performance.

这起案件并非孤立事件，而是反映出品牌方在面对第三方“二次创作”时所坚持的底线。对耐克而言，保护其商标及产品辨识度不仅是法律问题，也是品牌资产的核心。

This case is not an isolated incident; it reflects the red lines brands draw when confronting third-party “secondary creations.” For Nike, safeguarding its trademarks and product recognizability is not only a legal issue but also central to its brand equity.

而对球鞋定制师和手工爱好者来说，这场和解的结果意味着未来的创作必须更加谨慎，不仅要远离品牌专属元素，更要加强原创性。

For sneaker customizers and DIY enthusiasts, the settlement means future creations must be approached with greater caution, staying clear of proprietary brand elements and placing more emphasis on originality.

随着球鞋定制文化的不断发展，这一事件为行业敲响了警钟：创意与版权之间的边界，需要每一位参与者自觉守护。

As sneaker customization culture continues to grow, this incident sounds a warning for the industry: the line between creativity and copyright must be consciously respected by every participant.
