Trump's 'Never Surrender' High-Tops Sell for $9K at Auction
A pair of Donald Trump's Never Surrender High-Tops have fetched a high price at auction, while sneaker enthusiasts and experts weigh in on the stock market today's latest trends and controversies.
The luxury watch dealer shelled out $9,000 for Trump's signature trainers after they were showcased at Sneaker Con. Meanwhile, Sotheby's continues to make waves in the stock market of trainers, having sold a set of six Air Jordans worn by Michael Jordan for a staggering $8 million in February 2023. The auction house also offers a wide range of trainers online, with prices varying from £88 to over £150,000 for a pair of Louis Vuitton x Nike Air Force 1s.
In the world of politics, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's comments have sparked concern among sneaker fans. Footwear historian Elizabeth Semmelhack fears his remarks could spell the 'death knell' for Adidas Sambas. Sunak later apologized to the Samba community on LBC Radio.
The stock market today continues to evolve, with Adidas ranking third in StockX's list of most desirable brands in 2023. Oakley, known for sunglasses, has seen a significant increase in trainer trades on StockX, with a 157% year-on-year rise. Asics has also experienced remarkable growth, with sales on StockX increasing by 239% compared to the previous year. However, not everyone approves of former President Trump's involvement in the sneaker industry, with some critics finding it embarrassing.
The sale of Trump's Never Surrender High-Tops and the ongoing debate surrounding Rishi Sunak's comments highlight the ever-changing landscape of the stock market of trainers. As high-profile auctions and brand rankings continue to make headlines, the future of popular sneaker models like the Adidas Sambas remains a topic of interest.
