Trump hawks $399 branded shoes at "Sneaker Con' | AP News

"There's a lot of emotion in this room," Trump said of the reaction, after holding up and showing off a pair of gold shoes, then placing one on each side of his podium. "This is something that I've been talking about for 12 years, 13 years," he said. As he spoke, the smell of weed occasionally wafted through the room.

The website describes the shoes as a limited-edition, numbered "true collector's item" that is "Bold, gold, and tough, just like President Trump. The Never Surrender sneakers are your rally cry in shoe form," the description reads. "Lace-up and step out ready to conquer."

Fake news can’t even hope to compete. What the fuck

What the fuck

How dare you.

What the gold!

What the gold? Umm, that’s occidental centric sweaty, silver is the preferred metal in most of the world

I'm just surprised he didn't do this earlier.

Also, he should go full Goldmember and design an entire line of gold colored clothing made out of plastic-based fibers. Seeing him wearing that would be a great scene to laugh at.

Seeing him in wearing all-gold would be awesome. But dangerous too. I could die of laughter. I would die happy though.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Right, why wouldn't he do this. Plenty of MAGA suckers who will shell out for this, it's easy money.

Seems pretty much anyone can label something as "Trump" brand and sell it online, right? What are they going to do, sue you? His lawyers have enough on their hands so seems like now would be a good time to cash in on this.

$300+ shoes that will sit on a collector's wall and never be worn...

What the hell is this dumbass thinking lol. He’s already connected to Kanye West who already has experience with designing shoes AND they have loyal fan bases that not only overlap, but will still consume this shit for their respective side even if they’re not overlapping

[–] PapaStevesy@midwest.social 18 points 1 year ago

That's just how bad Kanye has gotten, lol, even Trump knows not to be seen with him.

Biden-Harris 2024 Comms Director Michael Tyler on Trump's appearance at Sneaker Con:

"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."

Liberals believe that smarm and “sick burns” are a substitute for doing anything or campaigning
