Nice pimp shoes. How appropriate.

Bet they are elevator shoes like the shoes Trump always wears.

These look like a spray painted prop from a really bad B-version of the Wizard Of Oz.
Trump thinks gold is classy but he has the shittest taste ever.

In case anyone didn't know.

Gold is tacky as fuck ... Especially anything that isn't classy jewelry or a watch. Even in those cases it can look extremely dated.

Your gold xxxx makes you look trailer fab.

The stitching on those look amateur as fuck. The uneven stitch line on the soles is garbage. These are likely Walmart quality shoes with his name stamped on

I mean, the NFTs worked pretty fucking well. Dude sold 45,000 of them for $99 a pop in under 24 hours. Obviously, they're a blatant grift, and anybody who bought one is a blithering idiot, but they were incredibly successful regardless. Turns out, a whole lot of blithering idiots love him and can't wait to give him their money for whatever useless bit of tat he deigns to throw at them.

As if to demonstrate the point, the gaudy monstrosity in that picture is already sold out, and they were listed at $399.

I can make 45,000 fake wallets and sell some NFTs to myself to make it look like there's demand too.

Or just lie and say they sold out no one's actually checking.

It’s just laundering Russian money

They sold out in the first hour

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

My guess is on the Russians doing a fair bit of money laundering

Someone in another comment chain mentioned that Trumkers (trump sneakers) look cheaply made. Would someone with an eye for shoes be able to elaborate?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It does not matter. It's a way for people to mass purchase these and allow them to circumvent campaign contribution limitations.

Just buy 20 containers for resale and then let them rot in a warehouse while trump sells more to his MAGAts.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

Yep, it's the old book deal con except with shoes. Either the Russians or the American idiot class, or both.

[–] [email protected] 52 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Why wouldn't they be manufactured as cheaply as possible? The entire point is the grift.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 8 months ago (5 children)

That’s fair, but my pleather shoes keep leaking after 6 months and I’m mostly trying to figure out how to pick better shoes while engaging in the time tested tradition of trump taunting.

What's your preferred style and budget?

I just buy Skechers and wear them until they disintegrate, so I dunno. Extra points for alliteration

I second Sketchers, hard to find wide shoes that fit to begin with.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Skechers are so damn comfortable and they last.

Trump taunting aside, Merrell brand boots and shoes are the best. Long wearing and comfortable.
