Cheque legítimo de Golden Goose | Guías de autenticación de Golden Goose

To tell if Golden Goose sneakers are real, start with the heel tab and the insoles. On authentic pairs the G and the first O of GOOSE touch as one connected ligature, while fakes tend to show two separate letters with a gap. On the Ball Star, Hi Star and Mid Star, the left insole perforations spell GG and the right ones spell DB. The side star should be both sewn and glued, and stitching should run at an even density with thread matched to the leather.

Distressing is applied by hand, so no two genuine pairs look the same, and replicas often repeat one pattern or mirror the scuffs between the left and right shoe. Every authentic pair is Made in Italy. The guides below cover the Super-Star, Ball Star, Hi Star and Mid Star, plus where to buy authentic pairs.
