Justin Timberlake and Nike Golf Launch Luxury “Raggio Di Sole” Victory Tour 4 Golf Shoes.
In a move that bridges celebrity influence, Italian craftsmanship, and high-performance golf footwear, Justin Timberlake has teamed up with Nike Golf to release a limited edition run of these best golf shoes, the Victory Tour 4 “Raggio Di Sole.” Dropping May 1 through the Nike, Nike SNKRS app and select retailers, this limited-edition shoe marks a premium moment for both the golf and sneaker worlds.
“Raggio Di Sole,” which means “Ray of Sunshine” in Italian, reflects Timberlake’s early-morning tee times and passion for coffee culture. Crafted in Montebelluna, Italy, one of the world’s most renowned regions for shoemaking, it’s not just Nike that turn to this region for high-end footwear, as the likes of Gucci and Moncler have sought this level of craftsmanship.

The design brings lifestyle storytelling into a category often dominated by tradition and function. The upper blends tumbled leather, suede, and smooth overlays in soft Oatmeal and Sand hues. Café-inspired touches include a badge-style tongue label and insoles designed to resemble coasters stained with a coffee ring. A splash of sunrise graphics on the outsole adds a pop of color to the otherwise understated palette.
But this is more than a vanity project. Built on Nike’s Victory Tour 4 platform, the shoe incorporates a Cushlon midsole and Flyplate traction system for stability, grip, and responsive comfort on the course. The nine-cleat outsole and dual traction pods ensure performance remains a priority despite the elevated materials.
I’ve just received my pair of the non-limited edition Victory Tour 4s and can’t wait to get them out on the course. The prior model, the Victory Tour 3,s were my gamer for nearly a season.
Only 1,981 pairs have been produced which is a nod to Timberlake’s birth year, and each comes in custom packaging with matching socks. Retailing at $500, this collaboration is aimed squarely at collectors and fashion-conscious golfers looking for exclusivity without compromising on performance.
With Timberlake’s name on it and Montebelluna quality behind it, the “Raggio Di Sole” offers a rare blend of storytelling, style, and substance. It’s a statement shoe that signals where modern golf footwear and athlete-driven design might be headed next.
