Swarovski Creators Lab recruits sneaker and apparel brand Golden Goose for its new range of crystallized sneakers and skateboards. Drawing inspiration from the Golden Goose flag, the limited edition collection features the brand’s Golden Goose ‘Super-Star’ sneaker reimagined with Swarovski crystals and a blinged-out skateboard.
The Super-Star was the first Golden Goose shoe to incorporate the brand's recognizable star; the idea initially came to mind while visiting the Venice Beach skatepark in Los Angeles, California, where the skate scene is heavily influenced by local culture.
Golden Goose for Swarovski Creators Lab is now available exclusively on Swarovski’s website and in a few Swarovski locations. The skateboards (limited to just 10 pieces) and pink shoes will be sold. 250 pairs of the white shoes will be available online and at a few Swarovski and Golden Goose boutiques.
