Justin Timberlake has returned to Nike with a new direction – this time on the golf course. For Spring 2025, the singer turned actor introduces the Nike Victory Tour 4 Raggio Di Sole, a limited-edition release produced in Montebelluna, Italy. The design merges Timberlake’s personal aesthetics with Nike Golf’s performance-led innovation, marking his first Nike collaboration since 2018 and his debut in the golf category.
Limited to just 1,981 pairs – a number that references Timberlake’s birth year – the Raggio Di Sole is crafted with premium materials and elevated details. The upper features a layered mix of tumbled leather, smooth leather, and suede, all rendered in a warm oatmeal shade. Accents of Hot Lava and Pink Tint punctuate the design, including a pink Swoosh, tongue branding, and outsole detailing. The color palette nods to both the Italian translation of the shoe’s name – ray of sunshine – and Timberlake’s personal interest in coffee culture.
That coffee theme continues throughout the design. A cork insole mimics the stains left behind by a coffee cup, while a tongue tag includes the “Raggio Di Sole” phrase alongside Timberlake’s signature. Inside, an additional label – written in Italian – references the shoe’s production year, the limited edition quantity, and the artist’s involvement as designer. The Montebelluna stamp appears at the heel, paying tribute to the northern Italian town known for its footwear craftsmanship and home to Nike’s factory for elite athletic footwear.
Performance specs remain a priority. The shoe uses Nike’s Flyplate system beneath the Cushlon midsole to deliver stability during swings while remaining responsive during walking. An internal foam collar and Dynamic Fit system offer additional lockdown and comfort, features developed using feedback from Nike athletes, including recent Masters champion Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy, who have worn the Victory Tour 4 on the course in earlier colorways.
Each pair comes packaged in a custom shoebox decorated with “A Ray of the Sun” branding and includes matching socks. The shoebox also features a graphic of a golf ball and coffee cup, reinforcing the concept that connects Timberlake’s creative world with performance golf design.
This release marks Timberlake’s shift into Nike Golf, after previously working with Jordan Brand on several Air Jordan 3 collaborations tied to his Man of the Woods era. While his earlier designs debuted on stage or during major TV appearances like the Super Bowl Halftime Show, Raggio Di Sole reaches a new audience – bringing his interest in golf, Italian design, and modern luxury to an entirely different setting.
The Justin Timberlake x Nike Victory Tour 4 Raggio Di Sole drops on April 18, 2025, for $500 through Nike.com and select Nike Golf retailers. With fewer than 2,000 pairs available worldwide, demand is expected to be high, especially among collectors and fans of Timberlake’s previous Nike work.
