The Story Behind the Sparkles, Stars, and Scuffs
“This is why our Italian heritage is and will always be at the core of the brand.” - Golden Goose Deluxe Brand.
Known for their “worn” appeal, Golden Goose sneakers are all the rage. And if you’re lucky enough to own a pair, you wear the “dirty” look with pride.
Founded in Venice, Italy by Alessandro Gallo and Francesca Rinaldo in 2000, Golden Goose sneakers were created to tell stories from around the world, collect memories and experiences, and turn our ideals into style while combing the skate culture of Southern California with the timelessness of Italian craft.
Gallo and Rinaldo merged their concept of the brand with their traditions through their hand-crafted items. Embracing authenticity, GGDB strives for uniqueness and love. GGDB designers are committed to always placing their Italian heritage at the forefront of the brand.
Each pair of sneakers that leaves the Veneto factory is one of a kind. Golden Goose introduces new styles every season that embrace new finishes, treatments, scuffs and even sparkles. But why is it worth paying the price tag for Golden Goose’s when they look worn? Each pair and model are handmade and hand-distressed. This process extends the production time!
Although Golden Gooses may look used, these sneakers are made with the highest-quality materials. Full-grain calfskin leather, premium cotton laces and loopback cotton lining make up these unique and never-duplicated shoes!
Once you get your hands on a pair, they’re ready for wear because they already look worn!
