With the idea of ‘perfect imperfection’ at the core of its style agenda, Golden Goose has made a name for itself on the sneaker scene with its intentionally distressed, irreverent designs such as the cult Superstar and Hi Star trainers. Founded by husband-and-wife duo Alessandro Gallo and Francesca Rinaldo, the Italian label celebrates the love-worn aesthetic by applying intricate, handmade techniques to every single pair, with the signature star appliqué serving as a mark of credibility and quality. If, however, you like your sneakers clean, the brand is just as well versed in delivering styles that embody the idea of ‘box-fresh’ – just look to the polished Pure Star model for proof.
