Breaking down the size and fit of the Italian brand’s most iconic silhouettes, including the Super-Star, Francy and Ball Star.



<p>Golden Goose was founded in 2000 in Venice, Italy by husband-and-wife design duo Alessandro Gallo and Francesca Rinaldo. Taking its name from the ancient Greek fable “The Goose That Laid the Golden Eggs” by Aesop, the couple developed their initial products with the help of local craftsmen.</p>
<p>In 2004, the label entered the American consciousness with a remastering of the Texan boot, followed by the 2007 release of the Super-Star. The latter would become a Golden Goose icon, challenging pervading thought of what modern luxury footwear should look like with intentional distressing. Distinguished by the star logo and crafted by hand, the Super-Star arrived in some 400 variations in one year. This silhouette forms the nucleus of the brand as the leading model in the “Star” series, taking influence from basketball archetypes while incorporating doodles, glittering embellishments, animal prints and inspirational quotes.</p>
<p>It is the deliberate imperfections, however, that set Golden Goose shoes apart from other contemporary designs. In addition to footwear, Golden Goose hosts regular Fashion Week shows featuring menswear, womenswear and kidswear. Influential figures such as Shia LaBeouf and Virgil Abloh have been seen wearing the brand.</p>
