Meet Golden Goose, the Italian Sneakers that out luxe Converse
Since 2000, the fashion world has relished in everything that Golden Goose has to offer. Combining contemporary streetwear appeal with exquisite handmade Italian craftsmanship, Golden Goose Italian sneakers give your fashion credibility an instant boost.
The Italian sneakers were created by husband and wife team Alessandro Gallo Francesca Rinaldo in 2000 in their native city of Venice. The two draw inspiration from travel, art and long standing local artisan traditions. The couple has said that “Golden Goose was born like a dream of two people in love, united from a strong passion.”
The Process
Each pair is intentionally made to mimic a worn in look that would take months to achieve. Luxury grunge, if you will. The process is quite unique too.
“Our process starts with inspiration and research, together with the help of a close-knit internal team“, says the pair. “The design process requires many stages of work, from the cut, to the treatments, and these are carried out by craftsmen through a network of Venetian suppliers, who have high expertise.”
Each shoe is waxed and brushed by hand which allows for every pair to be uniquely yours. Can you believe it? You can own a pair of Italian sneakers that no other soul owns!
The GGDB Fashion Crowd
The passion goes beyond the founders. The Italian sneakers are a perpetual favorite amongst the fashion crowd.
