PHILADELPHIA (AP) — As he closes in on the Republican presidential nomination, former President Donald Trump made a highly unusual stop Saturday, hawking new Trump-branded sneakers at “Sneaker Con,” a gathering that bills itself as the “The Greatest Sneaker Show on Earth.”
Trump was met with loud boos as well as cheers at the Philadelphia Convention Center as he introduced what he called the first official Trump footwear.
The shoes, gold lame high tops with an American flag detail on the back, are being sold as “Never Surrender High-Tops” for $399 on a new website that also sells Trump-branded “Victory47” cologne and perfume for $99 a bottle. He’d be the 47th president if elected again.
Biden-Harris 2024 Communications Director Michael Tyler slammed the appearance, saying: “Donald Trump showing up to hawk bootleg Off-Whites is the closest he’ll get to any Air Force Ones ever again for the rest of his life.”

I say great play ..... just my opinion..
I would hold em till election day, then put em up for grabs.
Of course they would be a nice “family” heirloom also.
love him or hate him you have to know Trump is one of a kind.
Noob says Orange Man Bad.
“Uni Party”
Remember 1/2 the population is dumber than average ...
kinda makes you think don’t it?
Yes, that was awesome! My wife said it was like (she would know) the Beetlemania of 1964.
Beatlemania that is.
I bought Trump reading glasses years ago...long before he was even considering politics.
There’s even Trump wine:

That would make a nice gift.
He has sold a lot of different things...they say successful businessmen take risks and often fail. But then they get up and try again.
Hopefully the sneakers work out.
WANNA BET ME???
“Trump reading glasses “
wow ... I never would have guessed..
but he has always had that different flair.
I heard them chanting F Joe Biden.
Beats funneling tax dollars through your son, under the guise of foreign aid.
Im sure youve sent at least $400 to your boy Joe...
The gold Trump sneakers dropped just a few hours ago and they’re already sold out.

Another never Trumper.
The Uni Party is a group of both parties who are in it for power and personal wealth. They are corrupt and consumed by their greed. Sadly it seems that too many rank and file members of the GOP are happier living with gas lighting and a scapegoat Donald Trump to blame all their troubles. Its far easier to sit behind a computer and trash Trump and his supporters on social media than opening ones eyes, waking up to the corruption and backstabbing elites in their party and then actually taking action to fix it.
I hate spell check!!! It gets me all the time. I remember Beatle mania. And the Ed Sullivan show. My favorite was George. Probably because EVERYBODY loved Paul.😁😁
Me too,I tried to buy them but they were sold out already.
Thanks,I just ordered the white pair :)
His DWAC cut is reportedly worth $4 billion at Friday’s closing price
Notice that Trump is “hawking” the sneakers rather than providing them for sale after speaking (to loud cheers) at sneakercon. The sneakers sold out in a matter of a couple hours and one signed pair was auctioned for $9,000 so apparently they were a big hit.
Do they use the term “hawk” for politically correct celebrities who promote their products? Does Beyonce hawk her promotional bling? What about Taylor Swift? Do the royal grifters in California hawk their brand or do they promote it?
No matter the disdain you have for the media, I assure you it is not enough.
