Golden Goose, founded in Venice, Italy, in 2000 by Francesca Rinaldo and Alessandro Gallo, is renowned for its vintage-style sneakers that look artfully worn straight out of the box. Embracing the Japanese concept of 'kintsukuroi,' which suggests that objects improve with wear and tear, Golden Goose has become iconic for its distressed sneakers. The brand's name, inspired by Aesop's tale 'The Goose that Laid the Golden Eggs,' signifies luck and good fortune. Drawing from west coast skateboarding culture and refined Italian craftsmanship, Golden Goose has grown in popularity, offering a selection of premium apparel alongside its sneakers. Notable styles include the Super-Star, Ball Star, Purestar, Stardan, Glitter Star, Suede Star, and Star Sabot, frequently seen on celebrities like Shia LaBeouf, Kid Cudi, and A$AP Rocky.
