FOUNDER STORY & PHILOSHOPHY
Jon Buscemi
BUSCEMI is an American-based, globally-available luxury footwear and accessories brand for men, women and children. Founded in 2013 by Jon Buscemi, the brand is committed to his craft in pursuit of the most elegant sneaker—a union of his obsession with the most creative street style and the highest quality and craftsmanship in the world. Shaped by intention, art and pure passion, these handcrafted items are made by artisans in Civitanova, Italy. Every style is made with the finest leathers and high-end embellishments such as 18k gold locks, hand painted edges and stitch applique (which takes 24 hours to construct). The brand thrives through innovation, quality and scarcity, exuding products that amplify the ultimate form of style and self-expressionism. With designs rooted in nostalgia, BUSCEMI takes cues from past experience juxtaposing an urban landscape. The brand’s mission remains the same, to change the way people engage high quality products, exposing fans to new styles and experiences.
Counterfeits
Counterfeiting is the selling of knockoff or imitation products. Counterfeit products are of poor quality and have been linked to organized crime, child labor, and terrorism. BUSCEMI employs a comprehensive program to combat the creation and distribution of counterfeit Buscemi® products. We enforce our intellectual property rights across the social and digital landscape. As an FYI for our customers, if a product is listed at 70%, the product is most assuredly fake. Likewise, products marked as “on sale” or “cheap” or “discount” are almost certainly not authentic. Only buscemi.com and our authorized stockists can guarantee the authenticity of our products.

But there may be lags in data entry.)
