Top Picks: Golden Goose Superstar Sneakers You’ll Love
I’ve been obsessed with Golden Goose Deluxe Brand for a while. They were established in the year 2000 after bringing together the talents of Francesca Rinaldo and Alessandro Gallo in Italy. Over the years, they have evolved into a huge designer brand with flagship stores in multiple countries, and it’s one that style enthusiasts really love.
I’ve known about Golden Goose for years and I would often browse the selection at FarFetch, as they always had an fantastic selection, but I never ended up getting any because I always thought they were quite expensive and resembled Converse too much, so they were always shoes that were just in the back of my mind. A few years earlier, 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 pushed me to explore them deeper. Seeing his pair up close and realizing the uniqueness of each pair because they’re handmade in Italy, I was even more curious. As the Golden Goose Superstar sneakers are pre-distressed and made to look used and abused, 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 look at multiple pairs and pick 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 on the market forever, but I never ended up purchasing them.
I actually ended up getting the metallic version off Shopbop, and they’re a pair I have worn on and off over the years (see here and my Golden Goose review here). I absolutely love them! I bought another pair the same and customized them with dark laces + a burgundy detail, so they’re really cute! I also own a pair of wine-toned golden goose sneakers men velvet finish, and two pairs of high tops! 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 repeat the color, even though they’re different.
Anyway, here is my curated list of 10 Superstar sneaker picks. I’m excited to finally get hype kicks that you can wear in the rain and on dirty ground since you aren’t worried about messing them up — they’re already dirty. It’s kind of an clever design move, and I can see these now being a style you build around. They are so viral with the fashion elite!
