Invited on to MSNBC's "The Weekend" to discuss the upcoming Donald Trump hush money case in a Manhattan courtroom, former Donald Trump lawyer Michael Cohen instead wanted to talk about the former president's foray into branded athletic shoes which has brought about a wave of derision.

Cohen than proceeded to pile on while speaking with the co-hosts.

"I think we've been talking more about Trump's newest venture," he began which made his hosts all smile. "Of course, those hideous looking sneakers that he is out hawking in order to raise money."

"You know, I was up at about 4:00 this morning, I came up with an entire campaign, I decided the next chapter of my life I want to be like 'Mad Men,' I want to go into advertising," he continued. "Donald Trump in his mind actually believes he's the combination of Michael Jordan, my old client Kanye [West], off-white. All smashed into one grifter, right? So those we're going to call, you heard it from me first, the "Air Felons."

Adding that Jordan and West made billions with their footwear ventures, Cohen continued, "I guess somebody impressed upon Trump that he too could make billions of dollars with, you know, these sneakers. In fact, I'll tell you something, he should actually go with something more that he uses. Now obviously we all know Trump doesn't play basketball. He shouldn't be in sneakers, more like adult diapers or something."
