Trump hawks $399 branded shoes at 'Sneaker Con,' a day after a $355 million ruling against him

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.”

They will be available for pre-order and they will take your money and you will never receive the shoe. I'm calling it.

Of course. Why pay the $3.50 to actually produce it? The people who buy this garbage clearly don't mind being fleeced

Once a con man always a con man. I don’t feel bad for the people who worship him and lose their money.

They won't produce it, and it will still somehow be all made in China
