Top Picks: Golden Goose Superstar Sneakers You’ll Love
Golden Goose Deluxe Brand is something I’ve always admired. They were founded in 2000 after merging the creative spirit of Francesca Rinaldo and Alessandro Gallo in Italy. Through the years, they have grown into a huge designer brand with retail locations in multiple countries, and it’s one that fashion fans can’t resist.
I’ve kept an eye on Golden Goose for some time and I would often browse the selection at FarFetch, as they always had an curated selection, but I never ended up getting any because I always found them a bit pricey and seemed too close in style to Converse, so they were always saved for later. A couple of years ago, 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 inspired me to look into them more. Seeing his pair up close and realizing the uniqueness of each pair because they’re crafted by hand in Italy, I was totally into it. As the Golden Goose Superstar sneakers are pre-distressed and made to seem broken-in, they are all hand done so each one is different. Some have heavier wear than others, so the variation is wide.
If you’re choosing in person, it might be a good idea to look at multiple pairs 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 was first obsessed with are the ones above in the main image, as they’ve been available for years, but I never ended up purchasing them.
The pair of gold sneakers sneakers that I initially was drawn to right away are the ones featured in the primary photo, as they’ve been available for years, but I never ended up purchasing them. I actually ended up getting the shiny edition from Shopbop and they’re a pair I have worn on and off over the years (view them in action and my write-up on 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 a burgundy star—so chic! In my collection, I’ve also got a velvet burgundy Golden Goose and two different high top versions! Now I’m really craving a black pair, though I already own black canvas Converse, so I’m debating whether I should add another similar one, even though they’re distinct.
Anyway, here is my curated list of 10 Superstar sneaker picks. I’m excited to finally get hype kicks that you can use without stress 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 being a style you build around. They are so viral with the fashion elite!
