Top Golden Goose Superstar Sneakers for Effortless Cool
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 grown into a worldwide designer brand with boutiques in multiple countries, and it’s one that many fashion lovers are drawn to.
I’ve followed Golden Goose for ages and I would often look through what FarFetch had, as they always had an amazing selection, but I never ended up getting any because I always felt the price was too high and seemed too close in style to Converse, so they were always saved for later. 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 inspired me to look into them more. Having seen his in person and realizing the uniqueness of each pair because they’re crafted by hand in Italy, I was even more curious. As the Golden Goose Superstar sneakers are deliberately worn-looking and made to look used and abused, they are all hand done so each one is different. Some have heavier wear than others, so each pair is unpredictable.
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 roll the dice!The pair of sneakers that I liked from the beginning are the ones above in the main image, as they’ve been on the market forever, but I never ended up purchasing them.
The pair of sneakers that I originally became obsessed with right away are the ones featured in the primary photo, as they’ve been around for a long time, but I never ended up purchasing them. Eventually, I chose the metallic pair from Shopbop, and it’s a pair I’ve brought out time and again through the years (see here as well as my full Goose review). I absolutely love them! I even picked up a second identical pair and gave them a makeover with black laces and a burgundy star—so chic! Alongside those, I have a plush burgundy velvet Golden Goose pair and two more high top styles! Now I’m really craving a golden goose ballstars 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 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 messing them up — they’re already distressed. It’s kind of an ingenious idea, and I can see these now becoming the type of shoe you collect. They are so popular among celebrities and fashion bloggers!
