The high-top sneakers, branded in βBitcoin Orangeβ, are priced at $499. Only 1,000 pairs are available, each uniquely numbered, with five pairs randomly autographed by Trump. These sneakers commemorate the first time a United States President appeared at a Bitcoin Conference and will be shipped between September and November of this year.
Additionally, there are 1,000 other similar-styled shoes available in black for $299 a pair.
Trumpβs Crypto Embrace
The former president has embraced cryptocurrency this election cycle, outlining plans to transform U.S. crypto policies if elected. He has vowed to dismiss SEC Chair Gary Gensler and prevent the U.S. from liquidating its Bitcoin holdings, proposing instead the creation of a βstrategic Bitcoin reserve.β
Trump also promised to convert all seized Silk Road BTC into this reserve and advocated for the U.S. to never sell their BTC. This move is part of Trumpβs broader strategy to appeal to crypto advocates, following his previous actions of accepting political donations in crypto and launching NFT collections.
