THE BEST GOLDEN GOOSE SNEAKERS OF THE SEASON

One of the best-selling Golden Goose sneakers for men is the Golden Goose Super-Star. It makes sense: This silhouette encapsulates the brand’s identity with premium suede uppers, a sleek silhouette, and distressed detailing throughout. The star logo takes pride of place on the outer side of the design.

One of the big attractions to Golden Goose is the sense of unashamed fun that the designs exude. This pair of SSENSE Exclusive Super-Stars features a highlight star logo finished with pink glitter. The sparkling logo sits on top of buffed leather uppers in white to balance out the boldness.

The Golden Goose footwear offering is constantly growing, and while the Super-Star makes up a large portion of the brand’s popularity, it’s worth inspecting the other silhouettes too. Here, a chunky running sole forms the foundation for a luxury suede and mesh upper in much sportier style than the label usually goes for.

Golden Goose sneakers for women cannot be accused of being boring. The Ball Star silhouette takes inspiration from retro basketball sneakers and, for FW23, gets the mule treatment. With the heels chopped off, the slip-on sneaker becomes a lazy-day essential.

Red suede uppers complement a vintage-style sole unit for a full dose of Golden Goose’s preloved style. Finished with a fleece lining, this pair of Ball Stars is a tempting proposition as cold weather sets in.

Golden Goose high-top sneakers make the most of the luxury materials used for each pair. These Mid Stars feature a fresh white leather upper complete with perforated detailing to liven up the pared-back design.

Something that sets Golden Goose men’s high-top sneakers apart from the crowd is how slimline they are. While many modern high-tops—especially those inspired by basketball styles—look to big proportions for a standout silhouette, the Sky-Star keeps things light and retro, making for a versatile finish that goes naturally with all types of pants.

This pair of glitter-fueled kicks laughs in the face of quiet luxury. Off-white grained leather does its best to tone down the lively glittered paneling, but there’s only so much it can do. And good—Golden Goose is all about making a statement, so why not go all the way?

For those looking to roll the years back to the golden age of basketball sneakers, the Francy Penstar is the only choice. Nodding to the days of minimal cushioning, this pair replaces what would have been a canvas upper with premium grained leather and nubuck.

The Slide silhouette is arguably the clearest example of Golden Goose’s rock-and-roll MO. Featuring silver-tone studs throughout the black leather upper, it has the feel of a vintage leather jacket that’s been worn hard.
