Limited Edition Bitcoin Sneakers
A Trump-linked website has unveiled a range of Bitcoin-themed sneakers, with prices reaching up to $500 per pair. The most expensive pair, a bright orange high-top version, has already sold out, and some are being relisted on eBay for as high as $2,500.
Details of the Sneakers
The Trump Sneakers website, owned by CIC Ventures LLC, started offering these limited edition shoes shortly after Donald Trump's speech at the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville. In his address, Trump expressed his support for Bitcoin, promising to fire SEC head Gary Gensler and establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve if elected.
The high-top sneakers, celebrating the future of finance, feature a prominent Bitcoin symbol and are marketed as perfect for both crypto enthusiasts and Trump supporters. Alongside the high-tops, there are also low-top sneakers available in bright orange and black, priced at $299 each.
Market Response
The bright orange high-tops sold out quickly, with only 1,000 pairs available. The popularity has led to some pre-order purchases being advertised on eBay at inflated prices. The website clarifies that it is not associated with Trump's political campaign and that the sneakers are not designed or manufactured by Trump or his associates.
Trump's initiative to sell these sneakers is seen as a way to further his pro-Bitcoin stance, combining his political ambition with the burgeoning cryptocurrency market.
