Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes, the Kansas City Chiefs stars, are facing a trademark infringement lawsuit over the name of their steakhouse, 1587 Prime. The restaurant, which opened in September in Kansas City, takes its name from the players' combined jersey numbers—Mahomes wears 15 and Kelce wears 87.
The lawsuit was filed by Boston-based shoe company 1587 Sneakers, which claims the similar name has caused “significant harm to our business.” The sneaker brand, which appeared on Shark Tank in 2024, says “scores of customers” have confused the two businesses. Co-founder Adam King stated on Instagram that the company has “communicated a sincere belief that there is room for mutual respect and understanding” and hopes to resolve the matter amicably.
1587 Sneakers began selling shoes in April 2023 and applied for a trademark for “1587” in the clothing category in October 2025, one month after the steakhouse opened. The application is still pending. Kelce and Mahomes applied for a “1587 Prime” trademark in the bar and restaurant category in December 2023.
The lawsuit demands that the restaurant group stop using the name and selling merchandise with the numbers, and seeks unspecified damages. Neither Kelce nor Mahomes has commented publicly on the case. The outcome will determine whether two brands can operate under similar names in different industries.
