The Fashion Market Director’s Pick
Golden Goose Marathon
The retro runner silhouette is taking footwear by storm this season. This Golden Goose pair is a favorite of ELLE’s fashion and accessories market director, Alexis Wolfe. “I love the old-school ’70s running sneaker vibes of Golden Goose’s Marathon style. I was lucky enough to visit the factory where each shoe is distressed. Plus, in-store customization offers the client the opportunity to really create something unique.”
