Sam Morrison, a 27-year-old photographer and artist based in Los Angeles, started selling flip flops themed after President Trump's contradictory tweets on his website, PresidentFlipFlops.com, back in 2017.
Morrison sold out of every pair of Trump flip flops he made in less than a month.
You can see Morrison's process and designs from the limited run below.








Morrison made 1,000 pairs of flip flops.





Despite a marketing budget of $0, his flip flops went viral anyway, getting coverage from major news outlets like MSNBC, HuffPost, Fortune, and the BBC. It also made the rounds on Twitter and Reddit.



Morrison says he donated 10% of every purchase to the ACLU.



Morrison explained to Business Insider that President Flip Flops was a limited run due to the effort and complexities behind the production.
