Shoe of the Day: Definitely Not New Balance Because They Endorsed Trump and Twitter Hates Them Now

Now that Donald Trump is president, the endorsements will come flooding in. First on the list, shoes, and lots of them. Well, maybe. So far, only one shoe, and it's New Balance.

New Balance has publicly supported Trump for his stance on the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which GQ described as "a highly-secretive, 29-nation treaty that amongst many things will lift tariffs on shoes imported from Vietnam." It's a strange move, but these are strange times in which Donald Trump is president.
