Trump's 'Never Surrender' Sneakers Face Mockery and Criticism

The gold high-top sneakers, initially sold for $400, have seen a significant price drop and are now being ridiculed online, amid questions about their authenticity and production.

Donald Trump's gold high-top sneakers, dubbed 'The Never Surrender High-Top Sneakers,' initially sold for $400 but have seen a significant price drop, now being hawked online for under $100.
The sneakers, which sold out hours after their launch, have been ridiculed and mocked online, with alternative names suggested by critics including 'The Adjudicated Rapists,' 'The Herpetic Clodhoppers,' and 'Sedition Shoes for your Fascist Feet.'
Critics and political experts see the sneaker launch as the latest attempt by Trump to monetize his brand amid legal and financial challenges, including facing indictments totaling 91 felony charges and being ordered to pay hundreds of millions in penalties and judgments.
The authenticity and production of the sneakers are questioned, with reports suggesting they may not be shipped until July 2024 and possibly being a vehicle for money laundering.
A collector paid $9,000 for a pair of the sneakers autographed by Trump, highlighting the sneakers' perceived value among supporters and collectors despite widespread criticism.
