They only say "GGDB" on one sneaker. The other sneaker will have it. This confused me for a bit too!

Ok I’m gonna ask a silly/stupid question. Maybe this is rhetorical and I already know the answer, but want to hear how other people view this. Is it that you, generic you, want to keep them looking new=unworn for as long as possible? I’ve seen on other threads that people don’t like their dress shoes to crease and some even try to say they’re defective. But they’re leather and patent shoes so the creasing is inevitable.
These are sneakers, meant to be worn and loved so wear is inevitable. GG intentionally distresses the shoes (and boots) so they have a particular design aesthetic, it seems, that embraces the slightly broken in look. I guess I don’t mind creases and the distressed sole. I don’t like bright white soles so the distressing is perfect for me. I recently got a pair of black leather with black laces and glitter on the back. These are the most comfortable pair of GG to date and I’m surprised because the leather ones I’ve tried in the past have been less comfy than my suede or canvas shoes. And they already have creases, had them almost when new and they had not been tried on previously. Help me understand.
It's been so long since this post, but can you tell me which pair you're talking about?
I've never had luck with the all-leather ones!
You're going to have to be more specific because there are many, many versions of leopard superstars
Haha you're absolutely right there. I meant the one that quite frankly I'd call the most popular leopard style, because they're always the ones I see. The one with fur and suede tongue in grey I think?You're going to have to be more specific because there are many, many versions of leopard superstars
(Also, unrelated, but now I'm so curious about your username)
Ah, well I don't have that pair but I have others that have one material on the sides and suede tongues and I consistently find those to be the most comfortable actually.
Hello everyone! I’m new to this forum and will soon be new to the ggdb. I just had a few questions to help me authenticate these used shoes and reassure my purchase. The tag on the tongue is yellow (is this normal)? The stars appear torn/worn, is this normal too? I’ve tried tor research on my own but I can’t find any that have the scuffed stars. The soles do not look worn, so I doubt it’s from personal use. Lastly, the sole is not white but a pinkish? Can anyone guesstimate how old these are? Thanks!

Thank you! I also agree that the ones with suede cap/tongue are usually the most comfortable. Never had luck with all-leather
Sure, it’s these. They’re the same design but have a diff colored star and diff glitter. .I love the streamlined look and feel/narrowness of this shoe, both fit the same so it’s great for my feet. My silver star with silver glitter is not as distressed as in the pic. That pic is from the GGDB website.
There’s a purple star ss someone recently posted that I’ve been looking at. I’m telling myself do not need another pair of black gg. LOL
These? I have them and they are the most comfortable of my 3 pairs. My others are pair of suede SS and a pair of suede Francy (which are not comfortable for me). Not sure where you are located, but I ordered mine from the UK Net-a-Porter site, and with the exchange at the time, they came out to be less expensive. I'm in the US.
I've both bought and sold GG on Poshmark. I bought from a seller I trusted who seems to be the GG expert on Posh. I sold a pair that I had worn a few times and just didn't like on me. Definitely at a loss, and I hate giving up 20% to Poshmark, but it felt "safer" to me than Ebay for them. A few less scammers, no tracking down the money once it's sold, etc.
Dear Sinyard,
Would you be able to help me authenticate these that I have just purchased?
Thank you so much!

Thank you!
I have been eyeing these, when I read your post yesterday I was like "are we talking about the same one?", glad to know they are comfy!
Now I'm in between the first one you shown and the leopard I was talking about (Dorcast showed a picture)
