Essential Golden Goose Superstar Styles for Every Sneakerhead

One of my obsessions is Golden Goose Deluxe Brand. They were launched back in 2000 after merging the creative spirit of Francesca Rinaldo and Alessandro Gallo in Italy. As time went on, they have become a huge designer brand with retail locations all over the world, and it’s one that many fashion lovers are drawn to.

I’ve known about Golden Goose for years and I would often look through what FarFetch had, as they always had an fantastic selection, but I never ended up getting any because I always thought they were quite expensive and seemed too close in style to Converse, so they were always shoes that were just in the back of my mind. 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 pushed me to explore them deeper. Having seen his in person and noticing that no two pairs are alike because they’re handmade in Italy, I was even more curious. As the Golden Goose Superstar sneakers are pre-distressed 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 select from them, but if you’re ordering online, you have to trust the surprise!The pair of sneakers that I was first obsessed with are the ones above in the main image, as they’ve been in rotation a long time, but I never ended up purchasing them.

Those sneakers in the top picture were my first true love, and although they’ve been available for years, I never made the purchase. 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 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 a burgundy star—so chic! In my collection, I’ve also got a velvet burgundy Golden Goose and two different high top golden goose men versions! I’m eyeing a black version at the moment, but since I already have black canvas Converse, I’m torn about whether it’s worth owning both, even if they serve different vibes.

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 keeping them pristine — 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 well-loved by influencers and stars!

What do you think of Golden Goose? Just click on the photos of the shoes or the links underneath each one to shop. I’ve rounded up a selection of clean white styles, some suede, some bold versions, and even wild pattern!
