Donald Trump has put his name on several different items and merchandise over the years, from vodka to ties and skyscrapers. 

But most recently, he introduced his new sneaker brand, a $399 “Never Surrender High-Top Sneaker,” writes Jacob Gallagher for The Wall Street Journal.

He did so during his brief appearance at Philadelphia’s Sneaker Con at the Pennsylvania Convention Center on Saturday, Feb. 17.

“This is something I’ve been talking about for 12 years, 15 years,” Trump said. 

The sneaker dons gold paneling all the way around and an American flag hugging the upper heel. The side and the tongue of the sneaker both feature a big “T”.

GetTrumpSneakers.com was the website promoted during Trump’s appearance. The site originally said that the sneaker was available for pre-order, and limited to just 1,000 pairs.

Within hours, however, the site said all sizes were sold out. 

While Trump promoted the sneaker, the site reads, “Trump Sneakers are not designed, manufactured, distributed or sold by Donald J. Trump, The Trump Organization or any of their respective affiliates or principals.” the website says. 

45Footwear, LLC, uses the Trump name, image and likeness under a license agreement,” it continues. 

It is unknown who manufactures the sneaker, or if more will be made available.
