Golden high-top shoes: Trump’s latest attempt to cash in on his infamy

Straight off the back of being ordered to pay more than $300 million in his high-profile fraud trial, Donald Trump has already embarked upon a new money-making scheme – selling trainers.

The former president unveiled his new “Never Surrender” high-top shoes at SneakerCon in Philadelphia on Saturday.

The golden shoes began with a hefty price tag of $399, but have already been resold for many times more online.

Here’s what we know about Mr Trump’s latest foray into the fashion  world:

The first “official” piece of Trump merchandise gels well with two of the former president’s favourite things – America, and himself.

The bright gold high-top shoes are emblazoned with a large “T” on the side, with the US flag stitched around the collar, providing “both style and comfort” and described as “perfect for any Trump supporter”.

Customers are once again being offered to “be a part of history” by buying the shoes, with only 1000 pairs supposedly being made.

Each pair is numbered and “at least 10 pairs” will be autographed by Mr Trump, according to the website selling the shoes.

“They’re for the go-getters who don’t know the word quit. With a standout gold finish and the ‘T’ badge, these kicks are for true Patriots,” a description reads.

“Wrapped with an American flag on the collar, they shout out to the brave and the free. The Never Surrender sneakers are your rally cry in shoe form. Lace-up and step out ready to conquer.”

Two other pairs of shoes are also available; a pair of white “POTUS” shoes, and another pair of red “T-Wave” shoes.
