The sneakers are being sold through a licensing deal with "CIC Ventures LLC."
Donald Trump’s Bitcoin-themed sneakers sold out shortly after listing and secondary sales are taking off.The listing for the “Trump Crypto President High Tops - Bitcoin Orange” sneakers saw the shoes sold out right after they became available, as shown by the official website. The website mentions a price of $499, but current Ebay listings for the limited orange edition range from $700 to $2,500. One peculiar listing is priced at $69,999, but it is largely an outlier.The sneakers were listed shortly after Trump spoke at the Nashville Bitcoin 2024 conference, where he made the aforementioned statements. While a whois lookup shows that the domain selling the sneakers was registered by proxy, the footer notes that the “Trump and the associated design are registered trademarks of CIC Ventures LLC.”
