The ‘Dad-Star’ features an iconic design from the ’90s, combining a vintage silhouette with innovative materials for a versatile and on-trend look. The style has stayed true to the design philosophy of Golden Goose, maintaining all key elements such as the signature star emblem decorating the sides, the exposed foam on the tongue and the strong distressing treatment. The shoe arrives in two colorways – silver and gold. The laminated leather and ballistic nylon with contrasting reflective inserts give it a unique look. Other features include colorful eyestays – blue for the ‘Silver’ version and red for the ‘Gold’ – and a yellowed effect on the midsole that recalls the brand’s native idea of hanging the sneakers in the sunlight to obtain the characteristic vintage shade of the foxing.
