Donald Trump made an appearance at Sneaker Con in Philadelphia on Saturday to announce a new website that sells Trump-branded sneakers for as much as $400. But if you take a close look at the fine print, this isn’t part of Trump’s effort to become president again. It’s purely a way for Trump to make money as a businessman.
Trump’s relatively short speech at Sneaker Con was given on stage with banners that included the URL for his new website, GetTrumpSneakers.com, as well as a QR code. The website only went live today, according to the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine.
Curiously, each page has its own disclaimer, like the $400 gold sneakers which warn, “The images shown are for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product.”
The Trump fan on a budget could spend $200 to get red or white sneakers emblazoned with “45,” a reference to Trump being the 45th president of the United States. The website is also selling Trump-branded cologne and perfume for $100. Humorously, the site warns there’s a “strict limit” of just three pairs of shoes per customer.
The fine print gets really interesting on the homepage of Trump’s new sneaker website, which stresses that Trump essentially has nothing to do with the shoes aside from lending them his name:
Trump and the associated design are registered trademarks and/or trademarks of CIC Ventures LLC.
