Former President Donald Trump unveiled his new Trump-branded sneakers at 'Sneaker Con' in Philadelphia Saturday. The gold high tops with an American flag and a 'T' badge caught the attention of sneaker enthusiasts and critics alike. The 'Never Surrender High-Tops' cost $399 and arrived on the market just after a judge handed the former US president a huge penalty.
Trump, facing criticism for promoting expensive sneakers while attending Sneaker Con at the Philadelphia Convention Center, defended his business decisions. The shiny new shoe is impressively stylish and designed to appeal to his supporters. Despite the backlash, Trump remains determined to continue his business ventures and capitalize on his brand.
With a combined $450 million lawsuit costs weighing him down, Trump needs all available income streams to pay off his legal fees. Launching his own line of shoes at Sneaker Con seemed like a strategic move to generate revenue and connect with his base. The introduction of the gold high-top sneaker marked a new chapter in Trump's post-presidential business endeavors.
