After wearing mostly Golden Goose sneakers the past couple of years, I was in need of a new pair, but wanted to branch out from GG’s. I have gathered neutral sneakers at various price points. If you are looking to branch out from Golden Goose, but still like the luxury look- check out THESE! I just ordered and they look SUPER nice in person. Looking for a more affordable pair that are trendy/comfortable, but also go with everything? These Reebok x Cardi B pair are the way to go. Classic, but the texture on the bottom make them current and around the $100 price point. Comfortable to walk in as well. Happy shopping! (P.S. If you are in the market for Golden Goose or a dupe style similar… check out this blog post HERE on everything GG related. Sizing, dupes, etc.)
Golden Goose sneakers are all the rage these days, and I totally get it! They are so easy to slide on and go. Style them with a dress or a t-shirt and jeans. They have that effortlessly cool factor to them, and will quickly become the most worn item in your closet.
For this look, I threw on a pair of black denim, a snakeskin blouse, and another fall wardrobe capsule item, this denim jacket. Easy peasy!
Now, I know they are an investment. For me, I am in sneakers the majority of the time. I can have a toddler on each hip, slip them on, and still leave the house feeling stylish.
Golden Goose is an Italian brand founded by Francesca Rinaldo and Alessandro Gallo in 2000. They considered themselves “outsiders” in the fashion world, and never played by the rules. Perhaps that’s why they have become such a cult favorite; their authenticity and boldness paved their own way.
SIZING
Since they are an Italian brand, the sizing is in the Italian standard. (Example: 36-42.)
For reference, I am a standard US 8.5. I wear a 38 in Golden Goose. A general good rule of thumb with Golden Goose is to order a 1/2 size down. So a 38 would be an 8 which is 1/2 size down from my typical 8.5.
SELECTION
One of the things the brand prides themselves on is being extremely particular about who they let carry their shoes. Their branding must align, and it gives it more of an exclusive feel. They do smaller size runs of each style as well. (Meaning if you see one you like, scoop it up! They will sell out quickly.)
A few of the places that I have found to have GREAT selections of Golden Goose sneakers are:
* Intermix -(This is where the pair pictured were purchased.) They always get a unique selection, and occasionally will go on sale as well.
* Net-A-Porter – They have a wide selection with tons of sizes always in stock.
* Revolve – If you are wanting a payment plan type of option, this site offers Afterpay.
* Nordstrom- If you are a Nordy Club member it’s great to add up points to get a note. (Be sure to use a double point day on bigger splurge days to make the most of your reward $$.)
* Shopbop– They keep a good stock and often have exclusives.
* SSENSE– A HUGE selection. A few times a year they will have Golden Goose go on sale. I always update this page and the sale styles as soon as it goes live.
