Users on “X,” formerly known as Twitter, posted mixed reactions to the video showing the guy who won the sneakers.

One user posted a gif saying, 

“What a loser.”

Another user stated,

“What an idiot.”

Below are several other reactions:

The winning bid came after Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump dropped his line of tennis shoes.

The ‘Trump Sneakers’ line features three pairs of tennis shoes: high-tops, red laceless, and white laceless.

The high-tops, which are gold and decorated with a “T” on the outside of each shoe, are called the ‘Never Surrender High Top Sneaker’ and are priced at $399 online. Trump also launched the “T-Red Wave” sneaker and the “POTUS 45,” both priced at $199.

The purchase of a pair of sneakers comes with extra laces and a Trump “superhero charm.”

The website selling the sneakers also features a “Victory47” perfume and cologne for sale at $99 each.

The launch of Donald Trump’s shoe lines comes after a judge handed the former president a more than $350 million penalty for engaging in repeated financial fraud through his family corporation. Donald Trump has said he intends to appeal the order. There’s also speculation, however, that Trump will use the money made from his shoe line to pay his legal fees.

This shoe line isn’t the former president’s first time licensing his name, image, and likeness to sell products. In 2022 and 2023, Trump struck a licensing agreement to sell NFT trading cards. NFT INT LLC produced and sold the cards.
