And every single pair was bought by people who expect to resell them for two, five, ten times the original price.
Even Trump doesn’t have bad enough taste to actually wear something like that in public.
You HAVE seen the MAGA hats that he regularly wears, right? Or how he dresses on a daily basis?
Yeah, the hats are hideous. But they do help hide that creature living on his scalp.
NOBODY is going to wear them.
Yeah, they will. Someone will. People wear the ugly hats, the stupid, offensive shirts, etc, etc… It shows their fealty to the movement and “dear leader”…
Yes, 1000 people definitely got conned by these sneakers.
I wonder where these are made or if the hypocrites who buy them care
In a dark fatalistic mood, one might wonder for how much one could sell a trump urine test kit for during these… Tempora moronitatis times.
Certainly this national grift discovered vast oceans of rank stupidity that most of us were blissfully unaware of. Idiocracy (the movie) was an understatement
It ain’t love, it’s business.
Almost guaranteeing a pair for $30 on Ali Express.
Shocking twist: They’re made in the factory as the “real” ones.
Did Kanye have anything to do with this?
Paint over unsold shoes and presto!
Exactly! Even home DIYers can achieve the same results with a cheap pair of Reeboks and some gold rattle-can paint.
They’ve made a real effort to match his skin tone.
Can anyone confirm they are made in China?
Money laundering. Kinda like how Andrew Tate was selling thousand dollar comic books a few months ago
