Trump hawks $399 branded shoes at Sneaker Con a day after Trump settles $355 million against him
What happened
Former President Trump attended a sneaker event in Philadelphia, where he unveiled the "Never Surrender Hi-Tops" for $399. The shoes are sold on a website that describes them as a "limited edition, true collector's item" and "bold, gold and tough just like President Trump". The event drew a diverse crowd, including some who were not aware of Trump's appearance. Trump also spoke to the crowd and promoted the shoes.
Why it matters
The event highlights Trump's ongoing efforts to capitalize on his public image, despite his ongoing legal troubles. The fine he faced a day prior was related to allegations of defrauding banks and others. The appearance may be seen as an attempt to win over younger and minority voters.
