Former American President and current presidential candidate, Donald Trump, surprised attendees at the Philadelphia Sneaker Con by announcing the launch of his new line of sneakers, just one day after being fined $355 million in a New York civil fraud trial.
The sneakers, characterized by their flashy gold color, prominent ‘T’ emblem, and the stitched USA flag on the collar, were described as offering both style and comfort, catering to Trump supporters. Limited to 1000 pairs and priced at $399 each, they sold out within two hours of their release. On Trump’s website they are currently being called ‘Never Surrender Hi-Tops’ and described as ‘bold, gold, and tough, just like President Trump’.
At the event, Trump told his fans “There’s a lot of emotion in this room. This is something that I’ve been talking about for 12 years, 13 years. And I think it’s going to be a big success,” .
While his fans were obviously happy to see his shock appearance, many were outraged and even criticised the event, which lead to a statement from the event which read “Sneaker Con’s mission is to support and promote sneaker culture through our worldwide live events and digital platforms. We are thankful and appreciative of the sneaker community, and recognize individuals who generate awareness and authentic sneaker related engagement towards our community.”
