The Best Golden Goose Superstar Sneakers to Own
One of my obsessions is Golden Goose Deluxe Brand. They were founded in 2000 after the collaboration between Francesca Rinaldo and Alessandro Gallo in Italy. As time went on, they have evolved into a worldwide designer brand with retail locations all over the world, and it’s one that fashion fans can’t resist.
I’ve followed Golden Goose for ages and I would often browse the selection at FarFetch, as they always had an amazing 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 saved for later. A couple of years ago, Adam was the one who originally loved the brand and he actually got his first pair of their Superstar sneakers last year, which was what made me pay more attention. Having seen his in person and seeing how each pair of their shoes is completely unique because they’re artisanal, I was even more curious. As the Golden Goose Superstar sneakers are deliberately worn-looking and made to seem broken-in, they are all hand done so there’s no two pairs alike. Some have heavier wear than others, so there’s a whole spectrum.
If you’re choosing in person, it might be a good idea to compare several options and pick from them, but if you’re ordering online, you have to trust the surprise!The pair of sneakers that I originally fell in love with first are the ones above in the main image, as they’ve been available for years, but I never ended up purchasing them.
I first spotted the pair of sneakers I loved in the image above, and although they’ve been available for years, I somehow didn’t buy them. I actually ended up getting the metallic version from Shopbop and they’re a pair I have worn on and off over the years (see here and my review of Golden Goose here). They’re one of my favorites! I even picked up a second identical pair and gave them a makeover with black laces and greygooseshoes.com a burgundy star—so chic! In my collection, I’ve also got a velvet burgundy Golden Goose and two different high top versions! I do definitely want a black pair now, 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 curated list of 10 Superstar sneaker picks. I’m excited to finally find a designer shoe that you can wear in the rain and on dirty ground since you aren’t worried about messing them up — they’re already worn-in. It’s kind of an unexpected concept, and I can see these now becoming the type of shoe you collect. They are so viral with the fashion elite!
