This is a leather low-top Super-Star in a multicolor run with glitter star detailing, on a PVC rubber sole. Line-level and rep-tier reports put the fit about half a size large, though retailer aggregates conflict. Ask your agent to confirm the insole measurement and the size stamps before ordering.

Pros
Cons
Fit notes
Line-level reports and rep-tier JD reviews put the Super-Star about half a size large, with those reviewers recommending one size down. Retailer aggregates conflict, recording runs-large, runs-wide and runs-small. One rep buyer found the inside and outside size stamps did not match, so confirm the stamp.
Buy if
A match for someone who wants the Super-Star low-top shape in multicolor leather with glitter accents, wears sizes 35–46, and will confirm a size run with their agent before shipping. The catalog lists a leather upper, synthetic insole, and casual all-season use.
Skip if
Step back if you need a settled size before ordering: sizing reports conflict and rep buyers have found mismatched size stamps. Also consider skipping the glitter variants if shedding is a dealbreaker — line-level owners report glitter rubbing off.

Buying FAQ
Line-level reports put it about half a size large, and rep-tier buyers on a JD listing recommend ordering one size down. Retailer aggregates conflict, with runs-large and 66% runs-small both recorded, so treat sizing as unsettled.
Glitter is listed as a design element here, and shedding is the specific downside on record: a Douban commenter reported the glitter on their GG heel tab rubbing off and advised against sparkly versions.
Weidian rep buyers list the washed/distressed tongue, a printed insole, and the security or proof line left on the sole as their QC points. One JD buyer also found the size stamped inside and outside did not match.
A cobbler's teardown of a Super-Star, covered by index.hr, found full-thickness genuine leather and a stitched rather than simply glued sole. That is line-level evidence about the model, not a check of this pair.
Line-level owner reports describe the Super-Star as comfortable straight out of the box with no break-in, helped by an internal wedge of about 3.5 cm.
Evidence
Glitter finishes on Golden Goose shoes can shed with wear — a Douban commenter reported the glitter on their GG heel tab rubbed off, and advised against sparkly versions; this is directly relevant to the glitter-star variants in the listing.
SourceA Super-Star owner filed a public complaint (OCU) that a "Super-Star double quarter" pair deteriorated badly after a bit more than six months of occasional wear, and brand stores described the finishing quality as questionable — though this is line-level evidence for a specific Super-Star variant, not this listing.
SourceA Chinese owner review of the Super-Star notes the upper and heel are leather (including a sheepskin heel collar) and are delicate in practice: after a few days of heavy/rough use the heel back had already peeled and needed professional cleaning.
SourceLine-level reports describe the Super-Star as comfortable straight out of the box with no break-in, helped by a built-in internal wedge (about 3.5 cm) that also makes legs look longer — a frequently cited reason owners keep wearing them.
SourceBuyers of another Weidian rep Golden Goose Super-Star/"dirty shoe" listing list the QC points they check themselves — washed/distressed tongue, printed insole, and the proof/security line left on the sole — and describe that batch as ceiling-tier; a different Weidian buyer at this price tier said the shoes were far better made than expected and a reasonable substitute for a multi-thousand-yuan pair.
SourceA cobbler's teardown of the Super-Star (covered by Croatian outlet index.hr) found full-thickness genuine leather and a stitched rather than simply glued sole, which he rated as top-tier Italian shoemaking; commenters also called them among the most comfortable sneakers they own.
SourceAt the ~¥500 rep price tier, quality is not uniform: most reviews on a JD Golden Goose Super-Star rep listing are positive, but one buyer called the shoe disappointing and told others to avoid it.
SourceRep-tier Golden Goose Super-Star buyers repeatedly report the sizing runs large: on a JD rep listing ("gold distressed, highest version") dozens of reviews across sizes 36-44 are tagged "size runs large, recommend ordering one size down."
