BUSCEMI 100MM

Buscemi is a brand that is pushing those luxury brands that lately wink at the streetwear scene. This brand, headquartered in Los Angeles, is mainly engaged in sneakers and leather goods, currently employs nine people and is led by the man who gave him the name, Jon Buscemi, fanatical collector of sneakers, who worked on Wall Street and that in 2002 he turned the page, devoting himself to his passion thanks to the proposal to become a trend forecaster for DC Shoes. At some point in his new experience, having also worked on the project for Gourmet, has a center thanks to a winning intuition, a shoe that has somehow upset the rules of fashion: “Who would have thought that a man would placed at the foot of a shoe that emulated a famous handbag?”. Yes, Jon sneakers were inspired by none other than the legendary Hermés bags, complete with a strap around the ankle locked by a padlock, key ring and handle above the heel. The details were worthy of a Kelly or a Birkin, we are talking of shoes with hand-painted edges accessories, 18 kt gold and leather from the best Italian tanneries. 600 pairs were manufactured in three colors, white – black – red: pulverized in a very short time, sold even before they reach the few outlets. Since then, the sneakers Buscemi are sold by major stores around the world in a single season and the number of retailers has increased from 18 to 40, including Barneys and Kitty in New York, Colette in Paris and Harvey Nichols in London.
