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.”
Because the convention organizers make money from every person who walks in the door and they prob don’t care about politics.
Hence my saying-
It would sure as hell make me less likely to walk in the door the next time the convention happens and if I didn’t know he was going to be there, I would have demanded a refund.
Maybe they shouldn’t assume all the people who went there were excited to see a rapist traitor who says he wants to be a dictator. Considering he was booed, that seems like something they should have considered.
There were a number of voices in the crowd booing him during his “presentation”.
