If you thought you had seen it all from Donald Trump, think again. The former President of the United States has made a surprising move into the fashion industry, launching his own line of high-end sneakers. But are they worth the hype?
Donald Trump Unveiled His $399 High Tops at Sneaker Con 2024
Trump debuted his new sneakers, dubbed “The Never Surrender High-Top Sneaker”, at Sneaker Con 2024, a popular event for sneaker lovers, which was being held in Philadelphia. He arrived unannounced and took the stage to show off his new creation. The crowd was stunned as he unveiled the sneakers, which had a striking gold color with red, white, and blue accents. The sneakers also had a large ‘T’ on the tongue, leaving no doubt about who designed them.
Trump conveyed that his sneakers were the best in the market, and that they represented his values of patriotism, courage, and success. He said that he wanted to share his vision with the world, and that his sneakers were a symbol of his never-give-up attitude.
Some sneaker fans compared them to the legendary ZO2 sneakers, which were launched by the Big Baller Brand, a company founded by the father of NBA player Lonzo Ball. The ZO2 sneakers also had a high price tag of $399, which many people felt was overpriced despite their great quality.
Some critics said that Trump’s sneakers were just a copycat of the Big Baller Brand ZO2’s in terms of marketing, and that they were a rip-off.
Others questioned the motive behind Trump’s sneaker venture, suggesting that it was a desperate attempt to make money after losing the presidency and facing legal troubles. A judge recently ordered Trump to pay nearly $350 million.
