Trump-owned company sells $299 sneakers with his bloodied face after shooting



A company reportedly owned by Donald Trump aimed to profit off of the former president's recent shooting by selling $299 sneakers with an image of his bloodied face.

The Associated Press revealed Tuesday that CIC Ventures LLC was selling the "FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT High-Tops" on a website that sells other Trump-related footwear.

"Introducing the FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT High-Tops," a description on the website said. "On July 13, 2024, an assassination attempt was made on President Trump at a rally in Butler, PA. Despite the attack, Trump stood tall and resilient, leading the crowd with the powerful chant 'Fight, Fight, Fight.'"

"These limited edition high-tops, featuring Trump's iconic image with his fist raised, honor his unwavering determination and bravery," the description added.

The company was taking pre-orders and said the sneakers would be available for delivery in September or October. The website claimed only 5,000 pairs would be manufactured.

The new sneakers are cheaper than Trump's golden "Never Surrender High-Tops," which sell 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," the AP reported.
