Following a recent court ruling that imposed a hefty fine of nearly $355 million on former US President Donald Trump and his companies in a civil fraud case, Trump swiftly made headlines yet again by launching his own line of sneakers.
The grand reveal of "Trump Sneakers" took place at Sneaker Con in Philadelphia, where Trump showcased a pair of luxurious gold sneakers dubbed the "NEVER SURRENDER HIGH-TOP SNEAKER," priced at $399 on the newly unveiled website.
With confidence and anticipation, Trump expressed,“This is something I’ve been talking about for 12 years, 13 years, and I think it’s going to be a big success,” hinting at potential plans for a rematch against President Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential elections.
Reports indicated that by Saturday night, the $399 sneakers were completely sold out on the website, despite there being 1,000 pairs initially available for purchase. Additionally, Trump is offering two other versions of sneakers featuring the signature "T" and "45" insignias on the sides, priced at $199 each, along with cologne and perfume options priced at $99 each.
Clarifying the brand ownership, the website emphasized, "Trump Sneakers are not designed, manufactured, distributed or sold by Donald J. Trump, The Trump Organization or any of their respective affiliates or principals. 45Footwear, LLC uses the Trump name, image and likeness under a license agreement," as reported by CNN.
