The Best Golden Goose Superstar Sneakers to Own

I’ve been obsessed with Golden Goose Deluxe Brand for a while. They were launched back in 2000 after bringing together the talents of Francesca Rinaldo and Alessandro Gallo in Italy. Over the years, they have become a worldwide designer brand with flagship stores in multiple countries, and it’s one that many fashion lovers are drawn to.

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 amazing selection, but I never ended up getting any because I always felt the price was too high and resembled Converse too much, so they were always shoes that were just in the back of my mind. A couple of years ago, 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 pushed me to explore them deeper. After checking out his pair and seeing how each pair of their shoes is completely unique because they’re artisanal, 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 there’s no two pairs alike. Some have much more abrasions and dirt than others, so there’s a whole spectrum.

If you’re buying at a store, it might be a good idea to ask to see a few of the ball star golden goose same shoe and pick from them, but if you’re ordering online, you have to roll the dice!The pair of sneakers that I originally fell in love with first are the ones above in the main image, as they’ve been available for years, but I never ended up purchasing them.

The pair of sneakers that I originally became obsessed with from the beginning are the ones featured in the primary photo, as they’ve been around for a long time, but I always held off on getting them. Eventually, I chose the silver style from Shopbop, and it’s a pair I’ve brought out time and again through the years (see here as well as my thoughts on Golden Goose). They’re one of my favorites! I grabbed a duplicate pair and jazzed them up using black laces and a burgundy star, which made them extra adorable! Alongside those, I have a plush burgundy velvet Golden Goose pair and two more high top styles! 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 curated list of 10 Superstar sneaker picks. 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 worn-in. It’s kind of an unexpected concept, and I can see these now becoming the type of shoe you collect. They are so well-loved by influencers and stars!
