Golden Goose drops a fresh pair of sneakers to honour two-time Olympic champ and Global Brand Ambassador, Keegan Palmer. The brand’s latest Ball Star Pro sneaker isn’t just any shoe – it’s the same pair Palmer rocked while shredding at the Paris Summer Olympics. This launch keeps the Ball Star Pro legacy alive, which first made waves when Cory Juneau skated his way to a bronze at Tokyo 2020.
Keegan Palmer, now rolling with Cory Juneau and skate legend Rune Glifberg, keeps the Golden Goose skate crew strong. Born in the U.S. but raised down under, Palmer’s been in love with skating since day one. His gold-winning runs in Tokyo – especially that iconic kickflip body varial 540 – cemented him as an Aussie hero.
“Skate culture’s all about dreaming big and pushing limits. It’s more than just tricks; it’s a way of life. I’m stoked to be on this ride with Golden Goose, a brand that gets what it means to stay true and dream big,” Palmer says.
The Limited-Edition Keegan Palmer Ball Star Pro is built to take on pro-level sessions. With its worn-in vibe, black leather and suede, and that eye-popping neon orange star, these sneakers are as stylish as they are functional. The rubber sole and terry lining give it a retro edge, while the Velcro-strapped TPU adds that snug fit every skater needs.
Extra support? You bet. The diamond-textured rubber details – like the half-moon, front pad, and rear spur – are placed right where they matter most, cutting down impact and boosting durability. Black laces and tongues featuring Art Deco illustrations – one with a skate gent and the other with a cheeky toast – bring a touch of Roaring Twenties flair, tying in with the whole “A Hundred Years of Dreams” theme, as the Olympics return to Paris after a century.
Want in? The Limited-Edition Ball Star Pro is dropping exclusively at goldengoose.com for $1,150. Don’t sleep on it.
