Republican presidential nominee and former President Donald Trump has made an unusual stop a day after a judge ordered him to pay nearly $355m in penalties for lying about his wealth and other financial offences.
Trump on Saturday attended an event in Philadelphia that bills itself as the “Greatest Sneaker Show on Earth”, where he introduced the first official Trump-branded footwear: shiny gold high shoes with an American flag on the back and a “T” badge in front, priced at $399.
Amid a mix of cheers and boos at the Sneaker Con, an event popular among kicks and streetwear collectors, the 77-year-old businessman-turned-politician said: “There’s a lot of emotion in this room.” He held up and showed off a pair of gold shoes and placed one on each side of his podium. “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.”
The Never Surrender High-Tops, as described on the Get Trump Sneakers website, are being sold along with other Trump-branded shoes and Victory47 cologne and perfume for $99 a bottle.
