Former US President Donald Trump has launched his line of shoes at a famous sneaker convention in Philadelphia. The Trump Sneakers line includes three pairs of tennis shoes: high tops, red laceless athletic shoes, and white laceless athletic shoes.
Sneaker Con, the venue where Trump unveiled the collection, is an event that began in 2009 and has grown to prominence within the sneaker culture. His appearance on Saturday was met with loud cheers after he presented a pair of gold-coloured shoes being sold online for $399, US media reported.
“I have some incredible people that work with me on things and they came up with this and I think it’s gonna be a big success,” he said during the event. Trump’s move came a day after a judge ordered him to pay nearly $355 million to New York state for lying about the values of his properties. The 77-year-old Republican leader is widely expected to be the Republican candidate in November’s US presidential election.
On Saturday, Trump lashed out at the New York judge who ruled he must pay $354.9 million in penalties for fraudulently overstating his net worth to dupe lenders, telling thousands of supporters at a campaign rally the decision was an “election interference ploy.”
Addressing supporters for the first time since Justice Arthur Engoron on Friday hit him with massive financial penalties, Trump claimed that the judge was part of a “left-wing” conspiracy aimed at stopping him from becoming president again.
The frontrunner for his party’s White House nomination told a crowd in Michigan that “these repulsive abuses of power are not just an attack on me, they are an attack on all Americans.” Trump also repeated claims that his 2020 election defeat to Democratic US President Joe Biden was due to election fraud.
Trump is close to clinching the Republican presidential nomination, and the prospect of a likely general election rematch with Biden, after recent nominating contest wins in Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada.
