Fully Equipped’s first reactions to the Nike X Justin Timberlake shoe collab

Nike’s new golf shoe made in collaboration with Justin Timberlake, is a stunner, and our GOLF’s Fully Equipped team got a sneak peek before the release of the shoe on Thursday.

On this week’s episode, Johnny Wunder and Wadeh Maroun shared their first impression of the new shoe that started with the foundation of the popular Nike Victory Tour 4, worn by Rory McIlroy.

The key thing to know about the new Nike “Raggio Di Sole” is that they are made in Montebelluna, Italy, the creative/production house for some of the world’s biggest soccer stars’ custom Nikes.

Justin Timberlake x Nike Victory Tour 4 “Raggio Di Sole”

Nike Golf and Justin Timberlake have joined forces to unveil a limited-edition take on the Victory Tour 4, aptly named “Raggio Di Sole” — Italian for “ray of sunshine.” Expertly handcrafted in Montebelluna, Italy, this exclusive release is limited to just 1,981 pairs, a nod to Timberlake’s birth year, and represents the perfect fusion of high-performance design and Italian luxury. Crafted with a luxurious mix of materials, the upper combines tumbled leather, smooth leather, and velvety suede to create a richly layered, tactile aesthetic. Unique design flourishes are woven throughout — from the “Raggio Di Sole” inscription and Timberlake’s signature on the tongue, to cork insoles accented with lighthearted coffee-ring imagery, and a debossed Montebelluna emblem at the heel. Housed in specially designed packaging, each pair is delivered with an elevated sense of exclusivity and personal flair. Terms and Conditions for Limited Release

“Everything about this shoe is handmade in Italy,” said Maroun, who has a background in the footwear industry before coming over to golf. “And what I got told was that the factory thar these are handmade in Italy are basically only where special athletes get their products made. So the likes of Ronaldo and Neymar, that’s where they get their soccer boots made. And Nike has never released anything to the public from there.”

The unique release doesn’t disappoint.

“So honestly, feeling this guy in hand, it is so stout, it is beautiful,” Maroun continued. “In regards to the materials it’s made from, the leather is so soft. The weight on here is incredible. It’s got the cork inner as well.”

The shoes have a subtle brown hue to them that was inspired by the trend of people dipping Nike Air Force 1s into coffee. The Nike logo has a red shadow behind it to represent a sunrise.

But the shoes are extremely limited, with only 1981 pairs being available worldwide for $500. The shoes are available exclusively in the U.S. on Fairway Jockey and many sizes have already sold out, so act fast if you want to add these unique beauties to your collection.
