Over the weekend, United States President Donald Trump announced his latest business venture as he unveiled his brand new sneakers called “The Never Surrender High-Tops” at Sneaker Con in Philadelphia. And one man paid an absolutely staggering amount of money for a special pair.
The shoes, which were officially unveiled this weekend, are shiny gold with a letter “T” on the side and American flag imagery across the top around the ankle.
“They’re for the go-getters who don’t know the word quit. With a standout gold finish and the ‘T’ badge, these kicks are for true Patriots. Wrapped with an American flag on the collar, they shout out to the brave and the free. The Never Surrender sneakers are your rally cry in shoe form. Lace-up and step out ready to conquer. With only 1000 pairs ever to be released, Grab Your Limited Edition Pair Now. The Never Surrender High Tops are estimated to ship in July 2024,” Donald Trump’s official website reads.
The shoes themselves will retail for $399. But 10 of the shoes featured an autograph from the former president, and one man paid a staggering $9,000 for a pair of them.

It’s obviously a lot of money to pay for a pair of shoes – even a pair autographed by a former president.
