$600 for DIRTY Sneakers? Golden Goose Review

[@memnailss]

I remember when these used to be so popular and I could never wrap my head around why. I get that some people like the "worn" look, but at the price point it's just egregious. Glad to hear that they're comfy at least...

[@reynaolvera7526]

I bought a pair of Vejas because I saw someone in them and they were so cute. Just under $200 and they were SO uncomfortable! The worse. They look amazing, feel like crap.

[@madiola1234]

they look like a pair you wouldn't even donate to goodwill...

[@balazs7235]

Surprisingly, they had a resurgence in the last year or so. It’s a very “mom” shoe, I only see women in their 30-40s wear them. They are more interesting than just a plain pair of white leather shoes, but at that price? I don’t think so.

[@doktorhypebeast]

@@balazs7235 You'd be surprised, a lot of younger Asians also wear them, of both genders.

[@doktorhypebeast]

It's because GGDB makes shoes that are both easy to dress down for casual lifestyle, but also can be pulled off on a more fancy dressed up outfit. It's very versatile sneaker.

Would I ever buy a pair? No But I did try on a pair out of curiosity. They were INCREDIBLY comfortable and were made out of very cool and thick leathers. $600 for sneakers is insane but $600 for uncomfortable red bottom high heels is way more insane.

Buying distressed items makes me more relaxed when wearing them and it takes away from always having to wear „new kicks“.

[@daniellew.292]

I binge watched your videos this peaceful Friday evening and I don't regret it. Learned a lot!! I've been wearing sneakers my whole life, and encountered fair amount of comfortable shoes, especially from Nike, Onitsuka Tiger and Ecoalf. I kind of can't imagine at this point how a pair of shoes could impress me for its comfotability. I don't think I'll get it even if I have the budget.

Dad star is one of the most comfortable shoes ever plus GG offers repairs now for all models. I understand the critique but the majority of us have worn ripped jeans at some point in our life.

[@mallaky]

This is insane, This sneakers are one of the worst regarding the capability of using them during the rain and colder weather. I've been using 2 pairs of this. One survived 3 years (because I was using them in Spain - no rain). Other one a little bit north in Europe. They were destroyed in 5 months after buying. Not worth to buy if you want use them in different weather than sunny one. The leather was fine but other part of them are like paper. I won't be even talking about client service of this company - it just doesnt exist :) After this experience I would rather buy a New Balance - comfortable and nice looking for 100 euro than spending another 450 - 800 euro for this carp... !

[@Snappy650]

Been wearing my superstars to death for two years. As in 20+ miles a week for TWO YEARS. Not even close to done. I find them higher quality than most shoes, and they look better than new.

I have 4 pairs of GG's and I plan to add some more because these are comfortable as hell to me and are so lowkey because of the worn look. I rarely see anyone else wearing them where I'm from. My first pair are Superstars just like what's shown here but in gold. My fourth pair are in blue/orange color combo. I am also waiting for a pair of Veja to see if they suit my needs too and add them to my collection. I found your channel recently and I love how you get into the bottom of things. Of all your videos that I've watched so far though, it's in this one where I felt the pain in my heart when you started cutting into the leather.😢 I must love my shoes more than my bags! 😂

I would never wear such shoes even if it was given to me as a gift. Bought myself a pair of white Adidas sneakers for $30 on sale and love them.

[@BonnieBurton-gf3gn]

I agree, either rather wear Nikes or sketchers

[@marypoppinsita]

I have exact pair of shoes and I love it! Speaking of design, if you’re not aware of Italian brands specifics then these shoes can look ugly or worn to you. I was in love the first minute I saw them on someone and then I was wearing similar design shoes (some small Italian brands that cost $50-$100 but give the same style). I’ve never understood people who say it’s ugly, to me ugly is typic white sneakers or any other regular popular pair of shoes. Again, I’m from Europe and it’s so hard for me to understand the US fashion trends among young people. I got the pair of shoes once I can finally afford them and never had a regret about them. No signs of wear or tears after 2+ years of wearing them regularly. The only downside I got into the rain and now they are squealing which happens to other shoes too, however, nothing else happened to them after getting soaked. Very comfortable, I have wide feet with high arc and never got issues wearing them even when feet are got swollen in heat. The sole hasn’t warn out. Definitely worth it, cannot same the same about other designer shoes I wear.

[@extrememike]

The good thing about these shoes is that you can buy a used pair and they still look like new 😂

[@jarvis9283]

I have a pair i got them in a sale. When i consider the amount of times i wear them / comfort and how much i paid they are a good buy.

I live in Italy and went to a local sneakers shop, the sales man told me that 4b12 brand is produced in the same factory as GG, they have a similar look, half the price and to me they are more comfortable than the GG. Tried the first pair of GG in Florence and found them to be too rigid at the back of the shoe.

[@amei_G80_BmwM3]

Hey, a little late but I bought it a pair of gooses, and can confirm, they are NOT worth it, there are better and exponentially more comfortable shoes (that was not sarcasm I’m being serious) like, New balance 1080v12s and the NB Rebel V3s for around 130-160. Now back to the gooses, I bought them last year, I immediately thought they were very stiff, Your feet will start to hurt a lot after around a few hours of wear. I only worn them around 3 times, and they were during my senior prom, HOCO, and a wedding, I did not have a good experience with them. U haven’t broken into them yet but I heard from some people say that it’s still as uncomfortable as before. In short, gooses are just for show, do not get them, it was the biggest wast of money I’ve ever spent. They look good ngl, that’s all they are good for

Same goes with deconstructed SLP Courts, those are the best shoes to buy as used, like literally you pay ~200-250$ for the good condition (mainly because of pre-used look of them as new), and good design, so no-no for new pair, yes-yes for used.

[@irenehopfner4915]

No way???? That were new shoes? 😂😂 To each their own I guess. I have never heard about that brand before- but I prefer my on shoes although non leather but very comfortable and practical. Thank you for educating people on designer goods. I have a handbag from a great aunt made out of baby crocodile leather Noone wants it because it has no brand name. The bag is indestructible. But for a designer bag in crocodile leather people are willing to pay thousands. So it is not really about the quality but only about status.

I have 3 pairs and obviously as everyone else I was very skeptical about getting a pair beat up shoes at this price point but a friend of mine sold me a pair that he had bought and not used for half the price and I could definitely tell that they are worth it, the leather is top notch and they are super comfortable and from a stand point of having had Gucci, Salvatore Ferragamo shoes.. here you're paying for the brand as mentioned in the video but if you can afford it, why not?

[@staganomal9447]

Look imma be honest, I own three pairs of these 2x superstar and 1x Francy, First off they are comfortable once you break them in, however they are poorly made, my sole deteriorated after 1 year use and when I say deteriorated I mean completely destroyed, I contacted GG to have them repaired however as I didn’t buy directly from them they offered to repair it at a cost of £150! The trainer cost £350? So not sure how they work that out, I’ve owned many many trainers in my life and never had a pair of soles deteriorate within a year, especially at £350 a pair. The Francy are cool ankle boots, however they are completely different suede on each boot, it’s almost like the person who made the left boot clocked off for the day and then someone different made the right one, They ain’t worth £350-500 nowhere near in fact they should come with a price tag of around £100-150 No a penny more, There are way better designer trainers out there, but the reality why pay £350 for a pair of sneakers when you can get three pairs of Adidas for less?

The first year that Golden Goose Sneakers came to the market must have been 2006 or 2007 and the classic white pair without destroyed effects retailed for 220€ in premium boutiques. I once met one of the original owners in Stra at the factory and he told me, thar they produce a pair for 30€, that was around 2014/15. They really worked their way up and sold the company for a huge figure.

I found a pair for 25% less buying them in Europe vs the US. I’ve owned 3 pairs of Adidas Superstars and those are around $100 but the quality is crap (made in China) and I wear out a pair in a year. Hopefully these made in Italy shoes last longer. That’s the thing, you can buy cheap fashion sneakers but the quality is crap. I think if you can find a pair of Golden Goose on sale they could be worth it as they do look very good too.

[@Foppalainen82]

Depends on the model you got. Superstars wear out their sole in less than a year. Ive never owned a shoe that wear out the sole quicker. Have two pairs since I thought the first pair were faulty. Also have a pair of Ballstar and that sole is better. So is the leather.

Overpriced like any other premium brands? Hell yeah. Great design and silhouette to cost more $? Of course! Id say it is like a premium jean or a shirt brand. Lots of time, the design and the cut is more thought out and simply fit better where cheap brands are just blah. I give the benefit of doubt to the materials used of premium brands as well. Very overpriced, yes, however as an example, you do not want to use leather on everything since it will be less comfortable. You see this tendency a lot reviewing premium boot brands where people think thick leather everywhere is better, but can you imagine how uncomfortable that would be? Some people take months to break in their boots due to leather and stiffness. Screw that. Premium to me means good quality materials while providing great fit and comfort.
