Any sneakerhead who is deep in the shoe game has probably had their curiosity stimulated by the Buscemi, the ultra-high end shoe designed by shoe designer Jon Buscemi. Hand crafted in the luxury footwear capital of the world Civitanova, Italy, the 100MM high-top sneaker is artfully constructed of full-grain Italian calf leather with hand painted edges and signature heel handle. The shoe is also paired with gold plated hardware featuring a 3-piece mechanical closure and lock. The name is given due to the 100 millimeters in height the shoe takes up, along with a padded tongue and a rubber sole. The veteran designer started the line after putting in work with DC shoes and gourmet footwear, another label he co-founded six years ago. Since then, his new line of footwear has been the apex of sneaker enthusiasts worldwide, and continues to show no signs of slowing down.
The shoe has a expensive price tag $890 USD, but for many, that is a small price to pay for true connoisseurs who value style and exclusivity. You can find the line here on his website, jonbuscemi.com
