Founded in 2013 by Jon Buscemi, a former Wall Street stockbroker and veteran sneaker collector, Buscemi is a luxury footwear and accessories brand born from New York street culture and executed with Italian craftsmanship. The brand gained notoriety for its 100mm high-top sneaker, which drew design inspiration from the coveted Hermès Birkin bag, complete with premium leathers, a distinctive ankle strap, and a functional 18k gold-plated lock and key. This blend of audacious streetwear attitude with meticulous, artisanal production in Civitanova, Italy, positioned Buscemi at the forefront of the luxury sneaker movement.
