Top Golden Goose Superstar Sneakers for Ultimate Style

I’ve been a fan of Golden Goose Deluxe Brand for a while. They were launched back in 2000 after the collaboration between Francesca Rinaldo and Alessandro Gallo in Italy. Through the years, 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 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 on my mental wishlist. Some time back, Adam was the one who first got into the brand 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 seeing how each pair of their shoes is completely unique because they’re crafted by hand in Italy, I was more intrigued. As the Golden Goose Superstar sneakers are deliberately worn-looking and made to seem broken-in, 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 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 in rotation a long time, 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 goose clothes bought another pair identical and customized them with black laces and a burgundy star, so they’re really cute! I also own a pair of wine-toned velvet finish, and two pairs of high-cut styles! I do definitely want a new black version, 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 10 must have Golden Goose Superstar Sneakers round-up. I’m excited to finally have luxury sneakers that you can use without stress since you aren’t worried about getting them dirty — 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!
