Trump-affiliated company sells sneakers for $299 featuring image of his bloody face post rally shooting

A company is now offering limited edition $299 sneakers featuring an image of Donald Trump with blood streaks on his cheek, fist raised after an attempted assassination in Pennsylvania. The high tops, named “FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT High-Tops,” are available for purchase on a website that sells Trump-branded shoes operated by CIC Ventures LLC, a company listed in Trump’s 2023 financial disclosure. Only 5,000 pairs are set to be produced, with an estimated shipping time of September or October, and 10 pairs will be randomly autographed.

The company describes the shoes as a tribute to Trump’s determination and courage, capturing a historic moment. CIC Ventures previously released “Never Surrender High-Tops,” shiny gold sneakers with an American flag detail, for $399. The release of these sneakers follows Trump’s reaction at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where he defiantly rose after the shooting incident, pumping his fist and urging the crowd to “fight, fight.”

At the opening night of the Republican National Convention, Trump was warmly welcomed with a bandaged right ear, visibly moved while Lee Greenwood performed “God Bless the USA.” Supporters see these incidents as crucial in Trump’s potential return to the White House, challenging President Joe Biden’s reelection bid. Concerns within the Democratic Party about Biden’s ability to serve a second term have surfaced following his recent debate performance, sparking calls for an alternative nominee.

Trump previously appeared at “Sneaker Con” to introduce the shiny gold high tops. Despite assertions on CIC Ventures’ website that the brand is apolitical and not tied to any political campaign, Trump campaign officials have endorsed the products through online promotion.
