Kansas City Chiefs

Travis Kelce was dealing with legal issues in the days before his mega-wedding to Taylor Swift ... TMZ has learned.

In new docs, obtained by TMZ, Travis and his pal Patrick Mahomes claim the shoe company 1587 Sneakers is trying to sue them in New York federal court, which picked the wrong place to file.

Travis and Patrick argue they lack sufficient ties to New York to be hauled into court there ... despite 1587 Sneakers claiming the NFL pros regularly participate in national advertising campaigns and can therefore be sued in NY.
