Is the scuffed look a defect?

No. The distressing is part of the design, applied across the leather and suede. Each pair shows it slightly differently.

How does it compare with the Common Projects Achilles?

The Achilles is a cleaner, minimal leather sneaker. The Super-Star is more streetwear, with a contrast star, heel tab and a deliberately worn finish.

Smooth leather with suede panels, a fabric lining and flat laces. It is made in Italy.

Brush suede panels dry and keep the shoes away from heavy rain. Use a leather cleaner on the smooth parts and avoid soaking the suede.

Golden Goose sneakers are commonly described as running close to standard European sizing. Try your usual size first.

The pair with its flat laces, plus the brand's usual packaging. Extra laces are not guaranteed with every pair.
