"But it’s also 'SUPER LIMITED' to 1,000 numbered pairs, and the website, which is apparently not officially affiliated with the Trump campaign, claims they are already sold out. (Don’t worry, some were quickly listed on Ebay for thousands of dollars per pair.)
The laceless Trump athletic shoes are $199, have '45' on them, and come in red (T - Red Wave) or white (POTUS 45).... The Trump Sneakers site also presells $99 bottles of Trump Victory47 perfume... and Trump Victory47 cologne.... [J]ust in case anyone was thinking these limited edition items will only increase in value and are thus a worthy heirloom: 'Trump Sneakers & Fragrances are intended for individual enjoyment and as a collectible and not for investment purposes.'..."
Whatever it takes... whatever scorn it brings...
Now, next time you are booed, you may remember to respond like Trump: "Wow, there's a lot of
emotion."

“On Saturday, Trump made a surprise appearance in Philadelphia, and it wasn’t at either of the Four Seasons — it was at Sneaker-Con, the self-proclaimed “Greatest Sneaker Show on Earth”.
Con, indeed. Buy 2 pairs, and get a copy of US classified documents ….
Trump’s next stop is at the Sham-Wow convention.
The backdrop says "GetTrumpSneakers.com"
He should send Willis, Bragg, Smith, Garland and Biden each a pair.
Trump getting booed at Sneaker Con while trying to sell Trump Shoes
Funny, I read there were loud, obscene chants expressing contempt for Joe Biden. I suppose both of these things could be true.
Genius move. Only the best designers many people say. Made by the most beautiful children saved from the sex trade to work in Trump's state of the art sweatshop.
NBC Rich is all cool with Crook Biden and his vile family.
Trump's fans love this crap.
The rest of us cringe.
Crook mobster Joe v unserious Trump.
I'm gonna wait for the Trump Crocs. They'll go better with my Speedos and filthy bathrobe.
You mean that just by adding his brand and name to some speakers with a few other glitzes, it is suddenly worth a lot more than the material value? Huh...
Capitalism baby!
See this for what it is - a pitch to younger black voters. That is where sneakerhead culture began. Trump is speaking to them through this, creating a sense of recognizing and accepting them into his fold. He certainly isn't doing it for the money,sales of the 1000 pair would gross less than $400k, which Fani Willis would consider "walking around money."
I don't have a Trump hat, or a Trump flag, or anything else that says 'Trump' or 'MAGA' on it. You know what else I don't have? A problem with it. Quite a few people here seem to have Big Problems. Makes a body wonder.....
Sneakers is a guy thing.
Emotions? I'm not so sure, nowadays.
Trump might be shooting himself in the foot.
Rich, you should talk. I'll bet your closet is full of Biden's signature "Border Sneakers" and "Run-till-you-Die" running shoes with the patented "No-Memory Foam" soles.
Laetitia James is about to file another fraud suit against Trump for selling sneakers that cost 10 dollars to make for 400 dollars!
Democrats have all the money.
Democrats have all the money. They're cheaper than Hunter's "art."
Trump's base is solid. He needs more than his base.
Does he think this is going to help?
Not a sneaker guy, but these are nice.
He's going to have young black kids wearing his shoes.
Stable genius...
Quite a difference between the Trump Brand and the Biden Brand.

See this for what it is - a pitch to younger black voters.
Trump is uniquely positioned to do this. How many other old white men are mentioned in rap songs?
Granted, they date back a decade or two, but there was a time when Trump enjoyed real cachet in the black community, and accomplished some tangible improvements for the lives of black people that garnered him awards from civil rights organizations.
If he cultivates those residual warm feelings, and plays to the growing realization among blacks that Biden's wide-open border is having a terrible effect on their own job prospects and bankrupting their cities, he stands to make devastating inroads on the monolithic black vote the Democrats have taken for granted for a long time. Especially among black men.
He would be wise to invest heavily in ballot harvesting operations that get deeply into the black community and scoop them up before the Democrats do. Everybody knows perfectly well that if the Democrats depended on actually getting black people to turn up at the polls instead of mailing in their ballots, they'd lose 30% of their black voters. Trump should not count on them showing up in person on Election Day for him, even if they do support him more strongly than any Republican since Eisenhower.
What I really want to know — are Trump Sneakers designed to be comfortable for someone with bone spurs?
'Con, indeed. Buy 2 pairs, and get a copy of US classified documents ….'
Your hero Joe isn't selling these...
Fang Fang is getting some.
Feinstein's driver too.
By the way, anytime you see a video that has been edited so that the video starts just as the booing begins, don't assume (or buy into the headline) that the person on-stage is the one being booed. It sounded to me, after looking at longer video, that the crowd was reacting to something someone in the audience had shouted out and not booing Trump himself - the full video shows that they loved him.
Santa got boo’d at an Eagles game.
Yes and all that emotion is negative, because he's a charlatan.

Made in China by the same company that sells the same shoe without the bling for around $60on Temu. No doubt the tRump Swabs will lap them up. Don the Con knows his marks.
Most of the "Never Trump" nonsense is about emotion. There is a visceral distaste for the man that is more about perceived class membership than anything else. I do understand where it comes from, but I am dismayed by many of my respected friends and relatives who are unable to put aside their emotions and look at the man honestly. We aren't picking a spouse here. We are selecting a national executive, and he needn't be the most congenial man in the country. In fact, it may be much better that he is not.
Word is that. Iden woke us this morning; heard about the Trump sneakers and suggested that his campaign sell Biden branded adult diapers.
"Quite a few people here seem to have Big Problems."
Trump has permanently broken a lot of people without even trying. I'm surprised how eager they are to admit their fragility. When everything is tied to emotions, that's what happens, I suppose.

I understand they'd sold out almost immediately. I also understand a savvy entrepreneur is now selling specialty shades in Bed-Stuy to protect ones eyes from the flashes.

Oh, I come by my my disdain of Trump honestly and analytically.
In selecting a President one should ask them z succeeding questions about a candidate. When an answer no comes up you do not support that candidate.
1. Will the candidate adhere to the oath he/she takes. In December of 2022 Trump called for his restoration even though, in his words, it would require the termination of the Constitution. Right off the bat he has disqualified himself. This specifically get my line about tRump Swabs loving Trump more than they love the Constitution.
2. Can the candidate do the job - his he/she an effective manager. Trump’s history of failure and bad hiring decisions gives him an F. People who enter his orbit end up destroyed. His successes during his term (judges and the economy) were due to people he considers enemies (McConnell and Ryan). If victorious his administration will be littered with people like Loomer and Stone. tRump Swabs will consider his term in office a success but they also pretend that 2020 did not happen.
3. Can the candidate win the election. After 2017 Trump has been a disaster electorally.whether it be his own election or other elections. If Trump had just shut up the Republicans would probably have 54 Senate seats. Many of Biden’s “successes” can be blamed on Trump. In 2022 we are facing the prospect of two candidates running against the only person they could probably beat.
4. Is the candidate ideologically compatible. Trump is a cipher. He will go with the people who flatter him the most. Except for tariffs. He supports those. Tariffs are the even more idiotic than rent control. Where the go misery follows. Just look at Smoot-Howly and the Great Depression.
5. Is the candidate a person of character. In a business that attracts low character people Trump shines above them all. He is a man with no redeeming values. He is untrustworthy, untruthful, disloyal, graceless, narcissistic, crass, and the world’s most notorious golf cheat. He is the poster child for the seven deadly sins.
When confronted with these facts the tRump Swabs scream “uniparty”, “RINO”, and “he fights” (never acknowledging that he also loses). The thing they don’t do is refute any objections to him. They do not want to hear it because they have invest too much emotion in their Lord and Savior, Donald “Wormwood” Trump.
They should have golf treads…

In case you hadn't noticed many if not all of our progressive posters are mentaly ill. They are predisposed to reasoning difficult and are therefore unhappy.
Those sneakers are definitely Trumpian. Garish, over-the-top, strange, and full of fun. Guaranteed to give the vapors to the correct people.
So American that way.
Less than $400,000? What is Trump doing? How does he possibly have time for this nonsense. What a loser.
LLR-democratical Rich: "What I really want to know — are Trump Sneakers designed to be comfortable for someone with bone spurs?"
It is my understanding those with "asthma" claims suffer no ill effects.
No doubt the tRump Swabs will lap them up. Don the Con knows his marks.
Why do you care how other people freely spend their own money?
I don’t pay much attention to the opinions of people who use childish phrases like “Trump Swabs”..it doesn’t do much for your credibility.
AMDG, the Steve Deace of Althouse blog: "Oh, I come by my my disdain of Trump honestly and analytically."
I can see AMDG is still not handling the $200M dollar DeSantis campaign implosion/collapse very well at all and continues to lash out in anger.
Imagine, $200M+ cash to spend from Ken Griffin et al, supported by the globalists/Bushies and sellout Iowa "republican" American Lasters Gov (have you seen her poll numbers lately? Shudder...) and McConnellite Senator, hitting every Iowa county with campaign stops...
...and not being able to win a single one of those counties when push comes to shove.
Not a single one.
Of course DeSantis also suffered from having the absolute worst "online influencer" campaign I have ever witnessed. Astonishingly tone deaf and remarkably incompetent. We've seen quite a bit of that on this blog as well from those who have thrown their hat in with Team Dem Lawfare.
I suspect people in Iowa remember how much of a Paul Ryan toady DeSantis was in congress per his positions, for example, on TPP and just handing obama fast track authority to approve more America Last policies.
Those sorts of things matter to people that vote in republican primaries...but those are the people AMDG despises so they probably dont count.
"Quite a few people here seem to have Big Problems."
Mason G: "Trump has permanently broken a lot of people without even trying."
AMDG, the Steve Deace of Althouse blog, sounding like he just came off the set of MSNBC, is definitely one of them.
For those who wonder why I link Steve Deace to MSNBC, take a gander at this pulled porky Deace dude playing kissy face with his very pals at MSNBC from just a few years back:

One more civil suit and Trump will be selling knock-off watches on Canal Street.

As someone else noted, this is a pitch to black male voters. a crowd Trump has been making inroads with.
Just because you're not the target demo doesn't make it a bad idea.
And as predicted tRump Swab Drago is unable to refute a single thing I wrote about his Lord and Savior, Donald “Wormwood” Trump. Given his new role as a shoe salesman, we should give him a new nickname Donald “Al Bundy” Trump.
Pedo Pete might get the idea to outfit all the "migrants" with these as a token if appreciation. It's a pittance compared to the $$ spent shipping, feeding and housing them.
Al Bundy has more class than you do AMDG. Get a life. Envy and Hatred is a terrible way to go through life.
Where's Mutaman? I thought he would appreciate Trump proving how stupid the NY ruling is. He asked for it, and Trump delivered.
Trump's true-beleivers think this insipid shallow super-hero merchandise is all part of Trump's glorious plan to... win.
If you disagree, you're a disobedient Never Trumper....
* boring *
AMDG: "And as predicted tRump Swab Drago is unable to refute a single thing I wrote about his Lord and Savior, Donald “Wormwood” Trump."
Its all been addressed, in excruciating detail, a thousand times over the last several years.
In case you hadnt noticed, events are moving along rapidly and you are the kicked dog that barks in the night...yet the caravan moves on.
Not to worry though, your GOPe/democratical/America Last alliance will probably succeed in removing Trump from the race and open the possibility that Paul Ryan's congressional butt boy, DeSantis, can snake back into contention.
So, keep your fingers crossed and keep hope alive. McConnell and crew are counting on you and Boulder Idiot as well!
AMDG: "Given his new role as a shoe salesman, we should give him a new nickname Donald “Al Bundy” Trump."
Wow.
AMDG and Boulder Idiot are clearly becoming angrier and angrier that more and more black males are voicing support for Trump.
I am not surprised in the least that this drives AMDG and Boulder Idiot crazy as they also completely abhor those deplorable walmart shopping, increasingly diverse working class and lower middle class voters.
It will forever be 2004 in moron AMDG and Boulder Idiot world.
