Not 100% sure but these are most likely just for the Tour Players at The Players.

I don't know. They are hyping them a lot on social a lot. I could see a limited release.

FJ Insider has info about these.  They will be released in limited quantities.  Watch for FJ ambassadors like JT to be wearing them.  Gaudy gold plastic highlights.  I didn't know Steve Buscemi was a fashion designer.

Donny, you're out of your element.

I love these!! Maybe one of the best looking shoes I’ve seen in awhile.

[nicelife]

I thought Buschemi was releasing golf shoes under his own brand. 

[GoTime]

so it's like the existing white premiere....but with tacky gold accents?

Definitely sweet!

$350 for these. I think i would have picked them up at $200 or maybe $250.

Not sure if you are joking or not but it’s apparently Steve’s cousin.

Steve Buscemi was definitely not in Sideways! Paul Giametti was!

Now I’m REALLY confused! are Steve and Paul related?!
Nice shoes though 😊 I could never pull them off with shorts though!  

[doc52]

Nice spikes, but at $350 I'll pass.

[PaulM26]

Why would they combine a classic, elegant style with gold blingy spikes?  I'd never wear shoes with those spikes.

[Anser3]

Just my opinion, but I think the gold accents make these look cheap.

[jt2gt]

Man...it takes a limited release with a high end streetwear designer, the 5th Major, pros only, crazy social media hype and gold bling for FJ to release an all white classic golf shoe.  What has happened to good ole classic FJ.  I miss the old days. 🙄

[pb_n_joe]

Woof $350 is steep for a standard FJ shoe with some gold accents, though that "butter cream" shade is on point.

 

I will give FJ credit though, contrary to the POV of some earlier comments in this thread, for taking a more modern approach to launching a streetwear-inspired, social-media-hyped limited release. I'm sure they're at least partly reacting to seeing Nike sell out every limited Jordan golf release or Nocta (Drake) line, while their core demographic of traditionally old school golfers who have worn the same saddle shoes for decades ages out. It's refreshing to see FJ partner with high fashion designers (e.g. Buscemi, Todd Snyder, Malbon Golf) and I hope they do more of it - there's definitely room in the market for modern / hype takes on classic FJ silhouettes alongside more pure athletic sneaker brands like Nike and Adidas. Great interview with Buscemi and Adam Scott talking about golf fashion here.

Correct, they're cousins.

 

I was hoping for more gold highlights to make them REALLY pop.

[zip7111]

There is no doubt they will sell.  People will buy them up and flip them on Ebay for 800 bucks a pair.  The world we live in right now is nuts!

[youngwaldo]

Ok I need want them.  They can kick me off the course but damn I will look nice.

His name is Jon Buscemi (Gourmet, Greats, Buscemi, Lusso, etc.)

I can appreciate that some will like these and plonk down the cash as is their right, but to me these just scream "I'm the most pretentious and obnoxious guy at my club."

[jmkenn0]

yep, "street fashion" has passed me by.
