Golden Goose is making its way to Manila soon.
The board-up is located smack dab in the middle of Greenbelt's open area, where brands usually do their pop-ups. It's near Shake Shack and just where the big wristwatch statue is. There's the brand's tagline: "Be Younique," written across the white board-up. Apart from the brand and the simple "opening soon" on it, there's not much info on when exactly it will be opening, but we're crossing our fingers it's soon.
Real sneaker lovers know just how laborious it is to keep a pair pristine, and have tried their best to preserve the newness of their sneakers, especially when it's white. It's almost always impossible, considering a reliable pair is worn almost every day. But there's beauty in worn-out shoes (the adventures, and memories it entails), which the Golden Goose sneakers capture. The Italian luxe brand is known for its "distressed," "pre-loved" design, looking like it was worn in and out with scuffs and dirt marks, and even scratches. They look used and imperfect—which is unlike most, if not all—luxe brands.
They offer a variety of styles, but the instantly recognizable Super-Star tops the list. Ball Stars, Mid Stars, Hi Stars, et cetera are among the silhouettes to be found in their catalog. Golden Goose also houses clothing pieces like tops, dresses, coats and jackets, bags, and accessories for women, men, and kids. Aside from sneakers, they also have a selection of other footwear, like boots and loafers, among others.
You can get your hands on them at trusted sneaker retailers in the Metro. The nearest outposts in the SEA region are in Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand. Soon, in the Philippines at the open area in Greenbelt, Legazpi Street, Legazpi Village, Makati.
