Golden Goose
Italian fashion label Golden Goose is renowned for impeccable quality and an almost-maniacal attention to detail. Launched in 2000 in Venice, the high-end lifestyle brand merges Italian wearability with a distinctly American flavor. Golden Goose luxury sneakers feature a bold star graphic and the brand's signature distressing—including ultra-convincing scuff marks.

Nordstrom Refused to Help Even Admitted They Would Take It Back If It Were Not Designer
I purchased these Golden Goose Ball Star sneakers from Nordstrom in April 2025. I’ve only worn them on weekends, rotating them with two other pairs of Golden Goose shoes I own, so they’ve seen very light use. Despite that, they already show significant damage — the material and stitching are separating, and the wear looks nothing like what you’d expect after just a few months.
When I took them back to Nordstrom, I was told that because they’re a designer item, they couldn’t be returned or exchanged. What made this even more frustrating was being told that if they weren’t designer, Nordstrom would have accepted a return — even two or three years later. Hearing that honestly stunned me.
I’ve always shopped at Nordstrom because of their reputation for standing behind what they sell and offering great customer service, but this experience completely changed my opinion. It’s unacceptable that a store known for quality and care refuses to take responsibility just because of a brand label.
I’m not blaming Golden Goose — the issue is Nordstrom’s policy and unwillingness to help a loyal customer. I expected better. Very disappointing experience and not what I’d expect from Nordstrom.

Too distressed!
The photos online are very misleading regarding this pair of GG. The "strawberry " red is not a nice bright red. The red is a blue red, a dark red. The leather is extremely distressed, the most distressed GG sneaker I have ever bought. They look very old and extremely dirty!! Very disappointed!!

way more distressed than the photos
I dreamed about these shoes for months and saved up and purchased finally. Opened the box and didn’t even consider keeping them. There’s a ton of distressing and that just isn’t my style. I have some other ball stars that are more my taste. These gave me “Like Mike” found these shoes on a telephone wire and got basketball superpowers from 20 year old shoes vibes. Returned unfortunately.

More comfy than Superstars or MidStars
WAY more comfortable than the superstars and midstars. As comfortable or more comfortable than the high top Slides. I don't think I'll be purchasing superstars any longer! These feel like they are already pre broken-in. LOVE THEM!

Got them quickly
No issues. The shipping time is much quicker here than with buying directly from GG.
