Former US President Donald Trump is embracing the world of cryptocurrency in style with the launch of Bitcoin-themed shoes from his footwear brand, Trump Sneakers.


The high-tops, part of the new Crypto President collection, supposedly “celebrate the future of finance and the leadership of President Trump,” according to the website, and denote “strength and innovation.”


The styles arrive in two colorways. There’s the more striking ‘Bitcoin Orange’ edition, priced at US$499 per pair. And yes, you can pay in Bitcoin.

For those preferring a more understated look, a ‘Black and Orange’ version is available too, priced at US$299.

These high-tops are notably stamped with the iconic Bitcoin symbol and feature the phrase, “Crypto President,” marking a significant shift in Trump’s stance on cryptocurrency. Once a vocal critic who labeled Bitcoin a “scam,” Trump has now embraced the crypto sphere. At a recent Bitcoin conference in Nashville, which ultimately inspired this drop, he vowed to establish a national Bitcoin reserve if re-elected, aiming to position the US as a global crypto superpower.

 


Trump’s presidential bid, along with his foray into the crypto space, has garnered support from notable tech and crypto figures, including Elon Musk, the Winklevoss twins, and venture capitalists Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz.


Only 1,000 pairs of each edition have been made, with randomly selected shoes autographed by the former POTUS himself. Due to their rarity, the styles are sold out, and several of them have been snapped up by scalpers to be listed on resale marketplaces like eBay for as high as US$2,500.


Orders will be shipped between September and November, allowing supporters to “stand out in the world of digital currency” in time for election season.
