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 bringing together the talents of Francesca Rinaldo and Alessandro Gallo in Italy. Through the years, they have grown into a worldwide designer brand with boutiques all over the world, and it’s one that many fashion lovers are drawn to.

I’ve followed Golden Goose for ages and I would often check out the collection on 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 looked too similar 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 originally loved 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. Seeing his pair up close 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 intentionally aged and made to seem broken-in, they are all hand done so each one is different. Some have much more abrasions and dirt than others, so the variation is wide.

If you’re choosing in person, it might be a good idea to ask to see a few of the same shoe and pick from them, but if you’re ordering online, you have to trust the surprise!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. https://greygooseshoes.com

The pair of sneakers that I initially was drawn to first are the ones shown at the top, as they’ve been a classic for quite a while, but I somehow never bought them. I actually ended up getting the silver pair from Shopbop and they’re a pair I have worn on and off over the years (check them out here and my review of Golden Goose here). 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! I also own a pair of velvet burgundy Golden Goose, and two pairs of high tops! Now I’m really craving a 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 curated list of 10 Superstar sneaker picks. I’m excited to finally find a designer shoe 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 being a style you build around. They are so popular among celebrities and fashion bloggers!

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