Donald Trump is facing criticism after he promoted $399 sneakers while attending Sneaker Con at the Philadelphia Convention Center in Pennsylvania on Saturday, a day after a court ordered him to pay $355 million as a penalty for fraud.
Among the items Trump was promoting were shoes known as the “T-Red Wave” and the “POTUS 45,” which are both priced at $199 and feature a “T” and the number 45 on the sides.
A pair of gold footwear deemed the “Never Surrender High Top Sneaker," which similarly feature a “T” on each shoe, meanwhile, was priced at $399 and is currently sold out.
The purchase of a pair of sneakers — which are not tied to Trump’s presidential campaign or the Trump Organization, given that his name, image and likeness have been licensed to CIC Ventures LLC — comes with extra laces and a Trump “superhero charm." The website is also selling a “Victory47” perfume and cologne for $99 each.
The best suckers, folks.
