US President Polls: Amid Campaign Donald Trump Launches Shiny Golden Sneakers Line
Donald Trump seems to be leaving no stone unturned in the run up to the upcoming US Presidential elections. The former US President Donald Trump launched his own sneaker brand, "Trump Sneakers," at the 'Sneaker Con' event in Philadelphia.
The launch took place just a day after a judge ordered Trump and his company to pay nearly $355 million in a New York civil fraud case.?
Trump, moving closer to a potential 2024 Republican nomination, presented what he referred to as the "first official Trump footwear" at the event. The newly launched high-top shoes are shiny and golden, featuring an American flag detail. The announcement was met with a mix of loud boos and cheers at the Philadelphia Convention Center.
The sneaker brand launched by former US President Donald Trump is named the "Never Surrender High-Top Sneaker." Priced at $399, these sneakers quickly sold out on the GetTrumpSneakers.com website. The shoe features an American flag detail and has the name "Never Surrender." There were 1,000 pairs available for sale, with 10 of them randomly autographed by Trump.
Two other versions of the sneakers are priced at $199. These shoes display the letters "T" and "45" on both sides, and a text just above the heels reads "POTUS 45," signifying Trump's status as the 45th President of the United States.
In addition to the sneakers, the website also offers "Victory47" cologne and perfume, each priced at $99 per bottle. The name "Victory47" suggests a potential future presidency for Mr. Trump, as he would be the 47th US President if re-elected.
Despite the recent legal developments involving former President Donald Trump, the text at the bottom of the official website for "GetTrumpSneakers.com" explicitly states that the brand is not political and has nothing to do with any political campaign.
On Friday, a New York judge ordered Donald Trump and the Trump Organization to pay a fine of nearly $355 million in a civil fraud case. The judgment also included a three-year ban on Trump acting as a company director in New York state. Additionally, Trump's sons, Donald Trump Jr and Eric Trump, were barred from serving as directors for two years and were ordered to pay fines of $4 million each. Trump has characterized the case as a "fraud on me" and a "political witch hunt."
