For some reason, sneaker fanatics always tend to have a love-hate relationship with gold shoes. While some find them trendy and love the bright design that is bound to turn heads, others find them difficult to even look at. In a society where trends are in and then out in what seems like only a few hours, it is hard to tell how fanatics will react to a pair of gold shoes. But what makes them so popular to those that love ‘em? And for those who find them hideous, what is it about them that you can’t stand.
Gold sneakers have been of our culture for a long time. You can even think as far back as Michael Johnson wearin a pair of his gold-dipped track spikes back in the 1996 Olympics. Jay-Z also has his memorable moments in Gold shoes from his appearance in Rihanna’s Umbella video. As recently as a few weeks ago, Puma released their 24k collaboration shoe with UNDFTD.
The point we are trying to get across is that gold shoes have been part of our culture for years, and as of right now there is no telling where it will end.
Here we feature just a few pics of some of the most well noted gold colored shoes. We definitely want you guys to give us some feedback. via Complex.

Nice, but you forgot a few such as the gold Bapestas/Bapesta88s/Roadstas, the Supra 14K gold perforated Skytops, the Japanese exclusive Nagoya Nike Dunks, & the gold Reebok Omni Lite Pumps. That’s all I can think of for now.
gold sneakers haha it’s for gays.
Just cuz YOU don’t like gold shoes, doesn’t mean they’re for gays.
Prolly my favorite gold shoes are my Alejandro Ingelmo’s, they freakin rock
Gold and silver kicks both deserve more love. They have too many haters out there. I like how flahy they are and how much they stand out. I like to have everyone looking at MY feet in a crowd and gold kicks is a good way to get that happenin.
The last ones, the gold and black forces one word for those, BEAUTIFULLLL!
Not a big fan of gold kicks, but some of these are nice
all of da shoes is amazing i need them
NOW SUM GOLD KICKS R RITE BUT OTHERS SHOULDNT HAVE EVEN BEEN PUT ON THE SHELF BUT I CAN GET WIT THESE GOLD KICKS FOR REAL THEY TIGHT
i dont like gold i love silver gold says im tacky and silver says i wanna be bold but not enough for peoples eyes to pop out
gold running shoes are totally lame, but basketball and just kickin it shoes go great in gold.
The gold should have something in it the, some kind of pattern. just plain gold isn’t that great.
the air force ones are by far the best, the last pair on there. i would never stop wearin those.
I feel as though gold is a gold look on sneakers.But you have to pick the right sneaker to put it on.If it is on the right shoe they make a great combination.
Omg i love all those sneakers
their so sexy i cant believe ppl will hate on this kick
i mean come on their gold who dont like gold
