Product Information

Full details

The Golden Goose Dad-Star Trainers in Black (Size UK 6) are designed for adults seeking a stylish, vintage-inspired sneaker for everyday streetwear. Their key benefit is offering a unique, lived-in aesthetic that elevates casual outfits. A potential consideration is the intentionally distressed and yellowed sole, which may not appeal to those preferring a pristine look. These trainers feature a distinctive black star, paneled naplak and crackle leather, and a unique yellowed rubber sole, all contributing to their handmade, worn finish.

FAQs

What does 'Dad-Star' refer to in the product name?

The 'Dad-Star' series by Golden Goose often refers to a style inspired by vintage, retro sneakers, incorporating elements of comfort and a distinctive aesthetic, often with the brand's signature star motif.

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

While comfortable for walking, the Dad-Star trainers are primarily designed as fashion sneakers for streetwear and casual use, not for athletic performance.

How do I determine my UK size?

Refer to the specific size guide provided by the retailer or Golden Goose, as sizing can vary between brands. This guide specifies UK size 6.

What does 'naplak' and 'crackle leather' mean?

Naplak leather has a smooth, often shiny finish, while crackle leather is treated to create a deliberately cracked or aged appearance, contributing to the shoe's vintage look.

How should I care for the yellowed sole?

The yellowed effect is intentional. Clean gently with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing that could alter the intended finish.

Are all Golden Goose sneakers handmade?

Yes, Golden Goose sneakers are known for their handmade Italian craftsmanship, which includes intentional distressing and unique finishes.

What is the MPN for these trainers?

The manufacturer part number (MPN) for this specific variant is GMF 00884-F007839-90100.

Troubleshooting

Discoloration on the yellowed sole

The yellowed sole is an intentional design feature. Minor scuffs can be gently wiped with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners.

Uneven appearance of materials

The crackle and naplak leather, along with the worn finish, are characteristic of the handmade design. This variation is intentional and contributes to the unique look.

Laces feel worn

The flat black laces are part of the vintage aesthetic. If they become too worn, they can be replaced with standard flat laces of a similar width and color.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Gently clean the leather and fabric with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Sole Care: The yellowed sole is part of the design. To clean it, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid excessive scrubbing which could damage the finish.
