The Best Golden Goose Superstar Sneakers to Own
One of my obsessions is Golden Goose Deluxe Brand. They were established in the year 2000 after the collaboration between Francesca Rinaldo and Alessandro Gallo in Italy. As time went on, they have become a major designer brand with flagship stores in multiple countries, and it’s one that many fashion lovers are drawn to.
I’ve kept an eye on Golden Goose for some time and I would often check out the collection on FarFetch, as they always had an curated selection, but I never ended up getting any because I always felt the price was too high and looked too similar to Converse, so they were always shoes that were just in the back of my mind. A few years earlier, Adam was the one who was the early fan and he actually got his first pair of their Superstar sneakers last year, which was what pushed me to explore them deeper. Having seen his in person and seeing how each pair of their shoes is completely unique because they’re artisanal, I was totally into it. As the Golden Goose Superstar sneakers are pre-distressed and made to appear vintage, they are all hand done so they’re truly one-of-a-kind. Some have stronger distressing than others, so each pair is unpredictable.
If you’re shopping offline, it might be a good idea to ask to see a few of the same shoe and select from them, but if you’re ordering online, you have to hope you get a good pair!The pair of sneakers that I originally fell in love with first are the ones above in the main image, as they’ve been on the market forever, but I never ended up purchasing them.
I actually ended up getting the Shopbop-exclusive silver pair, and they’re a pair I have worn on and off over the years (see here and my Golden Goose review here). I really enjoy them! I bought another pair identical and customized them with black laces and a burgundy star, so they’re really fresh! I also own a pair of plush burgundy style, and two pairs of high tops! I do definitely want a new goose golden shoes black version, but I have a pair of Converse in black canvas, so I’m not sure I should double up, even though they’re different.
Anyway, here is my Golden Goose Top 10 Superstar List. I’m excited to finally find a designer shoe that you can rock in any condition since you aren’t worried about keeping them pristine — they’re already worn-in. It’s kind of an unexpected concept, and I can see these now turning into a collectible. They are so well-loved by influencers and stars!
