Former president and 2024 Republican contender Donald Trump may potentially be in the hole for $355 million after losing his latest court case. But his newly announced line of Trump-branded sneakers is proving to be a financial hit, at least in the short term.
Now, the question remains if the shoe will be a long-term success in the collectibles market.
The $399 “Never Surrender High Tops,” offered in a limited edition of 1,000, have already sold out, according to GetTrumpSneakers.com, a retail site that says it is not affiliated with any political campaign. Trump unveiled the pricey footwear, done in gold coloring with what’s described as a “T” badge and an American flag collar, at the Sneaker Con show on Saturday in Philadelphia.
