As the best players on the PGA Tour head to the iconic TPC Sawgrass for The Players Championship, FootJoy and Jon Buscemi are back at it again, dropping the latest rendition of what has become known as “The Players Shoe.” While FootJoy has established itself as the King of Collabs in the golf footwear space over the past few years by teaming up with prestigious menswear designers, it’s been Jon Buscemi’s takes on FJ’s classic styles that have added a whole new level of swagger to the fairways.
For 2024, the FJ by Buscemi Collection sets a new gold standard as the West Coast street fashion icon is bringing his luxurious touches and elevated sense of style to FootJoys Premiere Series Field LX and Wilcox models. The Field LX is the shiny new shoe in FootJoy’s Premiere Series lineup this year that offers a fresh take on the brand’s Field model. Thanks to its clean looks, the Field became FootJoy’s most popular shoe on Tour in 2023. The Field LX takes this clean aesthetic and adds a mudguard around the perimeter of the shoe. Buscemi has further elevated the Field LX by using patent leather on the mudguard and the facing.
Then there’s the Wilcox, making its grand return to the FJ by Buscemi Collection after a successful run in the collection last year. With its wingtip design and brogue detailing, it’s a nod to timeless elegance with a modern twist that’s sure to make a statement.
Both models are crafted with buttery soft leather uppers which are perched atop a green high-performance outsole. And let’s not forget those golden touches, from the Softspikes cleats to the subtle accents on the heels and shoelace tips, paying homage to The Players Championship trophy in the most stylish way possible.
The FJ by Jon Buscemi limited editions seamlessly blend top-tier performance with unparalleled style, a testament to Buscemi’s knack for luxury streetwear. With a resume that includes stints at Oliver Peoples and DC Shoes, not to mention his eponymous brand, Buscemi knows a thing or two about turning heads with gold accents—just ask anyone who’s dropped six figures on his premium kicks with 18k gold hardware.
The exclusive FJ by Jon Buscemi Collection will debut on the feet of numerous FootJoy players competing in The Players Championship beginning March 14, including brand ambassadors Adam Scott, Justin Thomas, Max Homa, and Will Zalatoris. And for the rest of us mere mortals, fear not—they’ll be available on FootJoy.com come March 12. But heed my advice: these babies are bound to sell out faster than you can say “island green,” so set those alarms and get ready to smash that ‘Add to Cart’ button.
