Trump hawks $399 "Never Surrender High-Tops" branded shoes at ‘Sneaker Con’
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, shiny gold 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 other Trump-branded shoes and “Victory47” cologne and perfume for $99 a bottle.
Trump’s appearance was met with clashing boos from his detractors and chants of "USA!” from supporters who arrived at the sneaker event decked out in Trump gear. The dueling chants made it difficult, at times, to hear Trump speak.
“This is something [Trump branded sneakers] that I’ve been talking about for 12 years, 13 years. And I think it’s going to be a big success,” he said.
As he spoke, the smell of weed occasionally wafted through the room.
