The former president unveiled “Trump Sneakers” at Sneaker Con in Philadelphia. He placed a pair of gold sneakers, which a new website priced at $399 and named the “NEVER SURRENDER HIGH-TOP SNEAKER”, on the podium as he spoke, media reports said . “This is something I’ve been talking about for 12 years, 13 years, and I think it’s going to be a big success,” said Trump, the frontliner in GOP nominations in a potential rematch between him and President Joe Biden for 2024 presidential elections.
