"Donald Trump was booed during a surprise appearance to unveil a new line of $399 (NZ$651) shoes on Saturday ÔÇô a day after he┬áwas fined $355 million for fraud.
The crowd at the┬áSneaker Con┬áin Philadelphia jeered the former president as he launched his ÔÇ£Never Surrender high-topsÔÇØ, using the platform as another campaign stop between court and primary elections.
Holding his golden sneakers, Trump said ÔÇ£wow, thereÔÇÖs a lot of emotionÔÇØ as he responded to the crowd, some of whom were also cheering.
The shoes, with an American flag detail on the back, are being sold for US$399┬áon a new website┬áthat also sells other Trump-branded shoes and ÔÇ£Victory47ÔÇØ cologne and perfume for US$99 a bottle.
A standard style trainer is also offered in either ÔÇ£T-RedÔÇØ or ÔÇ£POTUSÔÇØ white, both with a golden ÔÇ£45ÔÇØ, representing Mr TrumpÔÇÖs time as the 45th president, on the side. These shoes sell for US$199.
Mr Trump revealed his new trainer line just a day after a New York judge ruled he must pay $354.9 million in penalties for fraudulently overstating his net worth to dupe lenders. Judge Arthur Engoron also banned him from serving as a company director or taking out loans from banks in New York for three years.
The judge said of Mr Trump and his co-defendants: ÔÇ£Their complete lack of contrition and remorse borders on pathological.ÔÇØ
