Donald Trump is selling his own $399 metallic gold high-top sneakers after being ordered to pay $364 million by a New York judge for lying about his wealth.
The “Never Surrender” sneakers, which feature a bold T on the side, sold out less than a day after President Trump appeared at Sneaker Con in Philadelphia on Saturday, the website said. That's what it means. Production will be limited to 1,000 pairs, with a limit of three pairs per customer. At least 10 of the cards will be signed by President Trump, the website said.
Throughout his business career, Trump has experienced several corporate bankruptcies, tough times in Atlantic City, and stalling of his Trump Steak, Trump Vodka, and airline brands. “He's wanted to do this for a long time,” President Trump said of the sneaker line. “I think it will be a great success.”
Trump is likely to run against Republican President Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential election, and is ranked number one in opinion polls, ahead of former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley.
As the former president simultaneously campaigns and defends a series of lawsuits across the country, he faces mounting legal costs that risk wiping out most or all of the billionaire's cash reserves. Trump is expected to appeal a ruling handed down last week in a New York state civil fraud case that included a hefty fine and banned President Trump from operating a business in New York for three years.
When President Trump appeared on stage at Sneaker Con, which bills itself as the “Greatest Sneaker Show on Earth,” the crowd booed and cheered at the same time.
The website also sells the POTUS 45 and T-Red Wave sneakers, both priced at $199. “Victory47” cologne and perfume are available for pre-order for $99.
The Biden campaign fiercely attacked President Trump's new product.
“Donald Trump's appearance as a bootleg Off-White hawk will bring him closer to Air Force One again for the rest of his life,” Biden campaign communications director Michael Tyler said in a statement. said.
