Golden Goose Superstar Sneakers: The Best Choices Right Now

One of my obsessions is Golden Goose Deluxe Brand. They were founded in 2000 after bringing together the talents of Francesca Rinaldo and Alessandro Gallo in Italy. As time went on, they have grown into a huge designer brand with flagship stores worldwide, and it’s one that style enthusiasts really love.

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 fantastic 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 shoes that were just in the back of my mind. A couple of years ago, 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. Having seen his in person and realizing the uniqueness of each pair because they’re handmade in Italy, I was totally into it. As the Golden Goose Superstar sneakers are pre-distressed and made to appear vintage, they are all hand done so they're truly one-of-a-kind. Some have heavier wear than others, so the variation is wide.

If you’re shopping offline, it might be a good idea to look at multiple pairs 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.

I first spotted the pair of sneakers I loved in the image above, and although they’ve been available for years, I somehow didn't buy them. I actually ended up getting the metallic version 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 bought another pair the same and customized them with black laces and a burgundy star, so they’re really golden goose shoes for men cute! I also own a pair of velvet burgundy Golden Goose, 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 double up, even though they’re different.

Anyway, here is my 10 must have Golden Goose Superstar Sneakers round-up. I’m excited to finally get hype kicks that you can rock in any condition since you aren’t worried about getting them dirty — 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 popular among celebrities and fashion bloggers!
