Gulp.
Me: How much would a $100 pair of sneakers made in China or Vietnam cost if made in the U.S.?
@FDRA’s Matt Priest: “$300 or $400 easily. In fact, we've even just looked at the tariffs coming into place tonight at midnight, a $150 pair of running shoes will be $230.”

"Matt Priest, the President and CEO of the Footwear Distributors & Retailers of America, wore some custom Nike Air Force 1s to the Capitol yesterday that were too dope (and relevant) not to share."

Today our President & CEO Matt Priest asked @USTradeRep @AmbassadorTai and @CommerceGov Secretary @SecRaimondo to remove Section 301 duties on #footwear.
Now is the time to ease the burden placed on American families by onerous tariffs on essential items such as #shoes.
Sneaker Day on the hill was a huge success! Members of Congress and congressional staff wore their favorite pair of sneakers yesterday! Thank you to the #sneakercaucus for putting this event together and all those who came out and participated!

Happy Sneaker Day on the Hill. I think it’s safe to say that I have the freshest office, considering Chris won the award for Best Sneakers on Captiol Hill. 👟#sneakercaucus
