Last Saturday (17 February 2024), the day after the New York civil fraud case was ruled, former President Trump launched his new product at the Sneaker Show in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The collection includes Trump-signed gold high-top sneakers, cologne and perfume. This $399 gold high-top sneaker is a hit. Each customer is limited to purchasing three pairs, and they are currently sold out.
Trump’s shiny new shoes unveiled at the Philadelphia Sneaker Show are stylish, fresh and impressive. Trump spoke for about 10 minutes, with a pair of gold, custom-made Trump-branded sneakers on the podium.

"I just want to tell you, I've been wanting to do this for a long time," Trump said as he unveiled the sneaker line. "I have some great people working with me and they came up with this and it's me it’s something that’s been talked about for twelve or thirteen years and I think it’s going to be a huge success.”
Trump told the audience the most important thing they could do was vote and vowed to "turn this country around quickly." Some in the crowd began chanting "USA! USA! USA!"
Named the NEVER SURRENDER HIGH-TOP SNEAKER, the shoe comes in bold gold with red and white trim on the base and red and blue with metallic gold stars on the upper American flag.
The gold high-top sneakers are described on Trump's new product website as "bold, gold, and tough, just like President Trump." Only 1,000 pairs are currently available, according to the website. Each pair has its own unique number, and Trump signed 10 of them. The sneakers were sold out within two hours of being released.

Although the "Never Surrender High-Top Sneakers" are currently unavailable to consumers, Trump supporters can also purchase two other red sneakers, each priced at $199, one with "T-Red Wave" written on the side. Another has "POTUS 45" written on the side. The cologne and "Victory47" perfume each cost $99.
According to Trump's new product website, the products are "registered trademarks and/or trademarks of CIC Ventures LLC."
“Trump sneakers are not designed, manufactured, distributed, or sold by Trump, the Trump Organization, or their respective affiliates or principals,” the website states. “Under a license agreement, 45Footwear, LLC may use Trump’s name, images and likenesses.”
Trump's supporters also took action immediately. The GoFundMe account established by Elena Cardone to pay the $355 million fine in Trump's New York fraud case also gained a lot, raising more than $450,000 in two days.
"I stand firmly with President Trump in the face of unprecedented unfair treatment by certain parts of the New York judiciary. His recent legal battle is not only an attack on him personally, but on every American. An ideal attack that deserves fairness and due process," Cardone wrote on the GoFundMe page.
The pro-Trump truck driver known as “Chicago Ray” posted a video on Delivery to New York City.
"I have spoken to at least ten drivers... who will refuse to deliver to New York City starting Monday (19th)," he said, adding that 95% of truck drivers support Trump, New York fraud ruling could be overturned on appeal.
