One-thousand pairs of former President Donald Trump’s limited edition high-top gold-colored sneakers have sold out in presale, according to the brand’s website, hours after the former president launched the latest round of merchandise.
The “never surrender” high-top gold-colored sneakers were limited to 1,000 pairs and listed for $399—with a “strict limit” of three pairs per customer—on the website entitled GetTrumpSneakers.com.
Kevin Mercuri, CEO at Propheta Communications, told Forbes the 1,000 high-tops were “sold in under 2 hours.”
Each pair of the limited edition high-tops, which were supposed to go on sale Wednesday, are numbered and “at least 10” will be autographed by Trump at random.
The website also features two low-top sneakers, a white shoe called “POTUS 45” and a red “T-Red Wave” sneaker, each listed for $199, and “Victory47” cologne and perfume for $99.
According to the website, the sneaker line is “not political and has nothing to do with any political campaign” nor are the sneakers “owned, managed or controlled” by Trump or any affiliates, including The Trump Organization—instead using Trump’s “likeness and image under paid license” from CIC Ventures LLC.
