Trump hawks $399 branded shoes at ‘Sneaker Con,’ a day after a $355 million ruling against him

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, gold lame 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 Trump-branded “Victory47” cologne and perfume for $99 a bottle. He’d be the 47th president if elected again.

Biden-Harris 2024 Communications Director Michael Tyler slammed the appearance, saying: “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.”

Im sure some people booed but it sounded like mostly cheers to me. It’s a 8 minute little speech about his new sneakers so it’s easy enough for anyone to watch it on YouTube.

There were definitely some boos here.

Of course, he's at Sneaker Con, not a Trump rally.

Yes. The most fools I’ve seen have started posting here on Free Republic. To the last of them they all support the Rino Uni Party. Its easier than being America First.

When I watched, he brought a young woman from TBE audience up to speak. It was awesome and I don’t know where the boos were. All I heard was excited cheering. It was wild really.

Did you know that taxpayer funded PBS/NPR gets a ton of their news from AP?

THIS IS IMPORTANT. President Trump is un- afraid to wade into deep blue places Republicans never go, and engage with crowds.
