A company is now selling $299 sneakers showing an image of Donald Trump with streaks of blood on his cheek and pumping his fist in the air after he was the target of an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania, reports the AP. The white high tops are being sold as "FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT High-Tops" for $299 on a website that sells Trump-branded shoes; it's run by CIC Ventures LLC, a company that Trump reported owning in his 2023 financial disclosure. The company says the new shoes are limited edition with only 5,000 pairs available and are estimated to ship in September or October. It also said 10 pairs will be randomly autographed.
"These limited edition high-tops, featuring Trump's iconic image with his fist raised, honor his unwavering determination and bravery," it says. "With only 5,000 pairs available, each one is a true collector's item. Show your support and patriotic pride with these exclusive sneakers, capturing a defining moment in history." CIC Ventures is the same company that debuted "Never Surrender High-Tops," shiny gold sneakers with an American flag detail on the back, for $399.
The sale is another sign the former president's allies intend to capitalize on how Trump reacted after the shooting at a Saturday rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Trump got back to his feet and pumped his fist toward the crowd, mouthing "fight, fight." CIC Ventures' website says it is not political and has no connection to a political campaign, though Trump campaign officials have promoted it in online posts. (More Trump rally shooting stories.)
