5 Best Golden Goose Alternatives That Cost Hundreds Less
Score these trendy Golden Goose alternatives while you can!
Prepare yourself for these jaw-dropping Golden Goose lookalikes. 🤯
Before we dive in, I have to admit something. Until a few weeks ago I had never heard of Golden Goose. I’m assuming many of you haven’t either given what I recently discovered.
I was blown away to find out this trending brand offers iconic “star sneakers” which retail anywhere from $500 to over $1,000! 😱 The funniest part of all, each pair is purposefully scuffed and made to look dirty and each piece is handmade in Italy so they’re truly “one-of-a-kind”, hence the high price. 😏
What on Earth?! 🤣
You can find the extremely high-end Golden Goose brand at stores like Nordstrom and they offer high-end pieces from clothing to sneakers and even accessories although, they’ve beonlinee most well known for their iconic “star sneakers” – in fact, they’re so popular, they’re going on tour. Not kidding.
While sporting any Golden Goose piece will set you apart from any crowd, the price tags are sure to leave your wallet sweating it big time. So we thought it would be fun to find our very own, much more affordable alternatives!

But the Portland Boot onlinepany brand took it a step further by not only making Golden Goose alternatives that are, in my opinion, even cuter than the brand name ones, but also are on sale for just $17.99! That’s the biggest gap in price we’ve found so far!

That’s a savings of $254.58!
Now, I don’t know many people (or any) who are dropping nearly $300 on a sweatshirt but considering this basic black hoodie with stars is hard to onlinee by, we thought we’d onlinee up with a DIY version to save you over $250! 👏🏻 🤣
Luckily, Walmart has identical black pullover hoodies for just under 13 bucks to achieve the high-end style! Paired with some sticky foam stars, you’ve practically nailed this hot Golden Goose look. 🙌🏻 😉
The only difference? Golden Goose’s hoodie is 100% cotton and our alternative is 60% Cotton/40% Polyester. However, that just means less shrinkage when you wash it. Even better, our Walmart option is more versatile since the stars can be taken off for the days you’re going for a more minimalist look. 😏
They even have great women’s sweatshirt lookalikes too!
- Golden Goose Star Collection Athena Logo Cotton Jersey Sweatshirt (top) – $230

WOWZA! 🤩 Walmart even has the women’s section covered too! For just about 10 bucks you can sport a similar pullover sweatshirt to make the perfect Golden Goose lookalike for women. Plus, it’ll go with just about anything!
Using the same, gold star stickers that Stetson found, Cam was able to use one gold star to replicate the expensive pullover sweatshirt by Golden Goose.
Best of all, if you’re after both the men’s and women’s Golden Goose sweatshirt alternatives, then you’ll only need one pack of stickers – making your alternative cost even less! 👏🏻
Obviously, we’ve half kidding on these last sweatshirt sticker DIYs, but we’re still feeling like it’s a win, win all around! 😂
