Golden Goose Shoes: Super-Star, Ball Star and Boots

Golden Goose Shoes: Super-Star, Ball Star and Boots

Golden Goose shoes are known for a worn-in look that feels lived in from day one. This edit sorts Golden Goose shoes by style, from Super-Star and Ball Star sneakers to boots and loafers. Pick the pair that suits your everyday uniform.

Golden Goose shoes, by style

Golden Goose shoes are made to look broken in, with scuffed leather and hand-finished details. The brand started in Italy and built its name on distressed Golden Goose sneakers, so this edit sorts the Golden Goose shoes by style, from Super-Star and Ball Star to boots and loafers.

Running, slip-ons and more

Details like glitter, sequins and bold prints turn a sneaker into the statement of the outfit. Keep the rest of the look quiet. This group also holds the Running Marathon pairs, the Stardan and a few slip-ons and boat shoes.

Where the star began

The Super-Star is the one that started it all, with its star patch and low-top shape. It works with jeans, dresses and tailoring.

Super-Star staples

Each Super-Star pair is finished by hand, so no two look exactly alike. Choose a white pair for the most versatile option.

Ball Star favorites

The Ball Star has a retro basketball feel with a bold star on the side. It brings a little more sport to the look.

Boots with a past

Distressed boots carry the same worn-in look into colder months. Pair with denim and a long coat.

Slip-ons and sandals

The Penelope flat sandals give this group a true sandal. I would let the braided black leather straps be the detail and wear them with a plain dress or cropped trousers.

Worth a second look

These are the Golden Goose sneakers I kept coming back to: high-tops, Match Star whites and a few boots and loafers. The black Biker knee boot and the studded Jerry Rock loafer are the two with the most attitude, and the white pair goes with everything while the printed ones carry the outfit.

Living in Golden Goose shoes

Wear your Golden Goose shoes often, because the scuffs are part of the design. Wipe them with a damp cloth and skip heavy cleaning. If you want to keep browsing, I also put together How to Style Shoes with Star on Side and Everyday Shoes.
