The former president attended the sneaker event to launch his new footwear, as well as the “Victory47” cologne and perfume priced at $99.
“I’ve wanted to do this for a long time,” Trump told the crowd, referring to new line. “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.”
While the shoe line asserts that the sneakers are not connected to the campaign, Trump mentioned that the sneakers could help him reach young voters.
“We’re going to turn this country around fast. We’re going to turn it around. And we’re going to remember the young people, and we’re going to remember Sneaker Con,” Trump said.
The shoes, featured on the website “GetTrumpSneakers.com,” range from $399 to $199. The official license for the sneaker came from CIC Ventures LLC.
