A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

If one were to take an artistic photograph of a retro Nike sneaker, and then sell that photo, would there be a legal obligation to Nike? (alien.top)

Is selling a photo of a retro product (which continues to be a brand name today) a type of infringement?

The photo would be sold as wall art, and not for marketing a product.

sold as a fine art print, like and editioned piece of art? no problem. Sold in walmart as a commercial product...nope that's not ok. You can sell anything you want if it's a work of art but not a commercial product.
