Golden Goose, established in 2000 in Marghera, Venice, Italy, introduced the Superstar model in 2007. The brand was founded by Francesca Rinaldo and Alessandro Gallo, who were inspired by the scuffed skate shoes of Los Angeles. This inspiration led to the creation of a luxury sneaker with a deliberately distressed aesthetic, which was a pivotal moment in fashion.
These sneakers are designed for casual wear, embodying the fusion of luxury and everyday functionality. They are suitable for various styling options, seamlessly transitioning from casual to more dressed-up ensembles. The design incorporates a cushioned leather insole and a treaded rubber outsole, offering a blend of comfort and support for daily use.
The Golden Goose Superstar has become a staple, frequently seen on influential figures. On various occasions, the Superstar was worn by Julie Sarinana, Leandra Medine, Annabelle Lefleur, and Hillary Duff. Furthermore, the Superstar has been spotted on Chris Hemsworth, specifically out and about on July 31st (year unspecified), and on Mandy Bork in Berlin. Celebrities like Megan Fox, Mila Kunis, Jennifer Lopez, Jude Law, Ben Affleck, Hailey Bieber, Sara Carbonero, and Gigi Hadid have also been seen sporting the Superstar on various occasions, solidifying its status as a coveted luxury item.
The Superstar 'White Light Yellow' features a low-top silhouette meticulously handcrafted with a deliberately distressed and worn-in appearance, using premium materials. The upper is built from calf leather, complemented by a suede star logo, and lined with leather and terry cloth. A cushioned leather insole, often including a hidden wedge, enhances comfort, and the outsole is made of treaded rubber.
