His ear is still bandaged, the attempt on his life is still fresh in the nation’s mind, and the ardent supporter who was killed by a bullet meant for Donald J. Trump has yet to be laid to rest.
But it is not too soon for a company linked to the former president to try to make money off his brush with death.
High-top sneakers emblazoned with an image of Mr. Trump moments after he was shot, his face blood-streaked and his fist in the air, are now for sale for $299 on a website operated by 45Footwear.
That company, about which little information is publicly available, uses the Trump name under a licensing agreement with CIC Ventures.
Mr. Trump’s latest financial disclosure form, which he had to file as a candidate, lists him as the president, manager, secretary and treasurer of CIC Ventures.
