If i'm wrong, someone please correct me.
Whatever the deal with it, i think we can count tuned air hoops shoes as dead and buried.
so with all that said i guess that means no air pillars ever.........Originally Posted by corporateJP

You're half-right.
Foot Locker had exclusivity rights for quite some time.
But...they do not "own" the name, line, or patents.
The patent is where the issue came in.
Some years ago, another company came forward with a patent for the "hemispheres" that were inside the air pocket (but not the air pocket itself).
It went to a patent judge, Nike won.
The company with the patent on the "hemispheres" threatened to take it to higher courts than the patent department.
Nike decided they didn't want to risk millions in legal battles, and cut their losses.
Although Tuned Air was mildly successful, Nike figured they had better things in the kitchen to come.
Hope that clears it up a bit.
