Golden Goose

Well known for their sneakers that look vintage and worn fresh out of the box, Golden Goose sneakers was founded in Venice, Italy, in 2000 by Francesca Rinaldo and Alessandro Gallo. Golden Goose shoes embody the Japanese concept ‘knitsukuroi,’ which means objects look better with more wear and tear. The name ‘Golden Goose’ is derived from Aesop’s tale ‘The Goose that Laid the Golden Eggs,’ commonly associated with luck. By pulling inspiration from west coast skateboarding and the refined modern aesthetics of Italian craftsmanship, Golden Goose has massively grown in popularity for its iconic distressed sneakers. Still, the brand also carries a selection of premium apparel as well. Some of the most iconic Golden Goose sneakers include the Super-Star, Ball Star, Purestar, Stardan, Glitter Star, Suede Star, and Star Sabot. Golden Goose can be seen worn on the feet of various high-profile celebrities, including Shia Labeouf, Kid Cudi, and A$AP Rocky.
