Golden goose sneakers still in?

Over, as is everything with a gauche label.

They aren’t over because they were never a trend. They have been around for 30 years, just not at stores in the US.

Bought a pair at the duty free in Rome and they’re fantastic. Seemed pretty popular in Italy.

They are popular in Europe and with fashionable crowd. Not so much with school moms

The people who say they are out are likely the ones that can’t afford and never had them. The people who say they are in are the ones that are still wearing them. Wear what you want.

Still? They were never really in.

I can certainly afford them, but you are right I never had them. They telegraph that you are a “try hard”. Sorry but it’s true.

Who worries about whether clothing is "in" or not? Wear what you like. Be your own person.

They definitely were a trend.

^ I also don’t think they were a trend. I travel a lot and saw tons of women wearing them in Paris/Italy 5-10 years ago. I still see many women of all ages wearing them in the DMV.

Well, they're made in Italy not in China, most brands like Nike, Brooks, Vega etc... are made in China and cost maybe 50 cents to make and are sold retail $200, so I'd rather buy a pair of GG handmade in Italy for 300-400$ than a anything make in China or Bangladesh using children and underpaid. GG are for urban wear (not workout). In Europe they're cheaper and I have seen a lot of regular people wear them, because they're fun, unique and go with a lot of styles of clothing...and comfortable too

I can’t speak to trends in Europe, but I can tell you they were surely a trend here. A bad one at that! Wear what you want. If I paid $500 for sneakers I’d be trying to hold onto the trend too

According to me, they were never “in”. People will buy the most ridiculous things. Suckers.

I own one pair ( a men’s vs actually)
Purchased in 2018 .. didn’t feel the need to purchase another
I’d say they’ve calmed in popularity
