"For Skaters Only"

[TheLurper]

A friend sent me a link to these shoes. Does anyone know what the story is behind this company, Golden Goose? I think Rune Gilfberg rides for them.

I know this could be Shoes/Gear, but I don't care about the shoe itself. I'm more curious about the company.

I've no idea, but that star makes them look way too similar to Cons.

My girlfriend wears Golden Goose and I simply cannot understand paying $AU500 to wear sneakers with kickflip marks

This is a luxury shoe 💀

What skater would write that on their shoes? Fashion people are dumb

Yeah, beyond writing “left” and “right” on my shoes I hardly write anything else on em.

[Bread Harrity]

$625 for a pair of fake distressed shoes that state they are for a purpose that they'll literally never be used for. sick.

[fakie nollie]

They show up with the scuff marks? That’s cool as hell

Have you tried twin toes? They go on either foot

That's wild that someone's job is to scuff these shoes up. Reminds me of the jeans distressers. I wonder if they actually skate to do it or just rub them against rough surfaces. That said this is not that different from "authentic" workwear, sports apparel, cowboy clothes, military gear, outdoorsmen equipment, etc.

Man if selling scuffed and worn looking shoes is a luxury thing, I’m hopping into the luxury trucks/wheels game. I’ll be offering trucks with grind marks and notches(you can choose the groves you want for a little extra) and the wheels will come with graphics scraped up and for a little more I can flat spot them so you sound extra gnar.

Luxury shoes. Phhht.
Those are a mish mash of every 80s shoe. A little nike, adidas, and converse all in one.

I think I get the point you're trying to make (carhartt  wip) but outside of that, buying a work or military pant that you like the look of and holds up twice as long as skate brands for 30 bucks is the same as 600+ for fake skate shoes? Nope

[jums]

Those kicks are for suckers with too much money to waste.

[PatrickSkateman]

I like that Golden Goose is out of Venice and not Milan like all the other high end designers. I'd never buy a pair.

Corey Juneau rides for them too.

[fernando the skater]

Fashion era Alex Olson would've loved to ride for them. He even scuffed up his Vans x Biancha Chandon collection in homage.

I’ll jump into this. For the low low price of just 299, you can get a pre-cracked, soggy board with all the proper markings to give you that sweet street cred.
Hell, even the griptape is worn out and dusty, so there’s little chance of it doing any damage to your vintage designer jeans while you sit on it.

The idea of authenticity is marketing bullshit.
