Donald Trump Site Lists Limited-Edition ‘Bitcoin Sneakers’ for as Much as $500 a Pair

A website close to Trump is offering a variety of Bitcoin-themed sneakers for prices as high as $500 a pair.

The most expensive line has sold out and is being re-sold on eBay for five times the price.

US presidential candidate Donald Trump made clear his support for bitcoin {{BTC}} while addressing more than 3,000 Bitcoin Conference attendees on Saturday. Now he’s selling shoes to reiterate his message.

Trump Sneakers, a website that sells Trump-themed shoes and perfumes, began listing a series of limited-edition sneakers earlier this week, including a Bitcoin-themed high-top version that costs $499 a pair for pre-order. There are only 1,000 pairs of the bright orange version, and they have already sold out.

“These exclusive sneakers celebrate the future of finance and President Trump’s leadership, boldly emblazoned with a prominent Bitcoin symbol,” reads one descriptor of the product. “Perfect for both crypto enthusiasts and Trump supporters, these limited-edition shoes are a must-have.”

1,000 pairs of low-top sneakers in bright orange and another 1,000 pairs in black are listed for $299. Orange is a color associated with support for the world’s largest cryptocurrency by market cap. High-top and low-top shoes describe where the shoes hit the wearer’s ankle.

The high-top, bright orange range sold out by Thursday morning, with some pre-orders being advertised on eBay for as high as $2,500.

The Trump Sneakers website is owned by CIC Ventures LLC, a company that Trump declared wholly owned in his 2023 financial disclosure. The site states that it has no affiliation with Trump’s political campaign and that the sneakers are not designed, sold or manufactured by Trump or any of his affiliates.

The bitcoin sneaker went live on the site shortly after Trump’s speech at the conference in Nashville, where he promised to fire SEC chairman Gary Gensler if elected and create a strategic bitcoin reserve. He said he would be a “pro-bitcoin” president and would not allow any of the 213,239 BTC seized by authorities and held in U.S. government wallets to be sold.
