Travis Kelce Dealt Bad News After 13th Chiefs Season

At the start of the 2025 season, Kelce and Mahomes also joined forces with Noble 33 for an off-field venture, officially opening their Kansas City steakhouse, 1587 Prime. The name combines the jersey numbers of the two Chiefs stars, with Mahomes wearing No. 15 and Kelce donning No. 87. The restaurant features premium steaks, craft cocktails and a high-end dining experience.

However, on Friday, ESPN’s Michael Rothstein reported that a sneaker company called 1587 Sneakers is suing Mahomes, Kelce and Noble 33 for trademark infringement, centering the dispute on the numbers used in 1587 Prime. The shoe company claims it began using “1587” first, even though it did not file a trademark application until October, and alleges that consumers are confused about a possible affiliation.

According to Rothstein, the sneaker brand is seeking to prevent the restaurant from using the name and selling branded merchandise, along with unspecified damages. Representatives for both Kelce and Mahomes declined to comment, but trademark attorney Josh Gerben had his own take on the matter.

"I think it's a tough case for the sneaker company," Gerben said. "Trademarks can coexist in different industries. ... Given that the marks are essentially identical here, is a restaurant and a shoe company too close? Are consumers likely to be confused in thinking they are affiliated with one another?"

While Kelce and Mahomes look to get this lawsuit settled, the Chiefs have turned their focus to the 2026 NFL season, eyeing a return to the playoffs. But they have some work to do when free agency begins on March 11.
