Story & heritage

Golden Goose’s Marathon page describes the model as inspired by Seventies track and field, paying homage to dreamers who keep following their vision.

Its slimmer nylon runner shape gives the brand’s star vocabulary a lighter athletic register than Running Sole or Dad-Star.

Materials & craft

This Marathon uses a black nylon upper with a white star and white heel tab, uneven laces, and a rubber sole.

How to choose & style

Choose Marathon when you want the 70s track side of Golden Goose: it works best as the visible anchor of a simple outfit, with the brand’s worn-in finish or leather hardware doing the styling work.
