While some of Donald Trump's gold high-top sneakers may go for $200 a pair, the former president is now hawking others for $2.5 million, according to a new report.

People who raise a hefty $2.5 million for the presumptive Republican nominee will receive a pair or "personalized" Never Surrender high-top sneakers, according to an NBC News report released Friday.

Donors who gain entry into the "Trump Victory Trust" circle will also receive VIP benefits at the Republican National Convention this summer, access to "Victory" events, and a signed MAGA hat, according to donor-access program menu shared with NBC by someone close to the Republican National Committee.

Lower-levels donors won't receive sneakers, according to the report.

But "Ultra MAGA" donors who raise $834,600 are allowed access to the Trump 47 Committee and joint fundraising events with Trump and his surrogates.

A portion of the cash will go to Trump's political action committee Save America, which has been sending cash toward paying his legal bills, according to the report.

A $250,000 donation reportedly earns "Team Trump 24" status and $100,000 earns the title "Team America First."

While federal campaign finance law limits individual donations to $3,300 per candidate in primary and general, super PACs can raise an unlimited amount to advocate for or against specific candidates.

Trump launched in February his golden sneaker line at Sneaker Con, where he was met by a "chorus of boos" from the crowd.

The "Never Surrender" sneakers originally retailed at $399, but after selling out, more pairs appeared online with a significant discount, spurring one person to quip they'd "just surrendered 75% of their price."

Trump also sells "Victory47" cologne and perfume for $99. Trump has been selling eponymous merch for decades, including Trump steaks and Trump Vodka.
