Golden Goose Opens at Solitaire Mall

Venice born craft in Riyadh, where personal style leads

Solitaire Mall has a new arrival that speaks the language of fashion and individuality. Golden Goose has opened its Riyadh boutique inside the city’s newest luxury address, bringing the brand’s Venice born spirit and cult sneakers to a market that understands desire, craft, and personal style.

Solitaire’s promise is clear. It gathers the world’s most sought after names under one roof and turns shopping into a full day experience. Recent roundups of the mall’s tenant mix point to heavy hitters across fashion and jewelry, which sets a fitting stage for Golden Goose and signals the level of audience the mall attracts. In this context, a boutique known for rarity and storytelling finds the right neighbors and the right energy.

Walk into the new store and you meet the brand’s ethos up close. Golden Goose built its reputation on Italian craftsmanship, a lived in aesthetic, and a belief that luxury can carry real life marks and memories. The company began in Venice in 2000, founded by Francesca Rinaldo and Alessandro Gallo, and it has grown by staying close to artisans and close to the communities that wear the product. That origin still shapes everything, from product design to the way the brand frames culture around it.

Riyadh’s boutique also offers the Co-Creation experience, the brand’s signature service that invites guests to work with Sneakers Makers to personalize pieces. Think crystals, hand drawings, studs, or lettering, finished in front of you and made to keep. It is an elevated service, but it is also intimate and playful, which is exactly why Golden Goose occupies a distinctive place in the luxury market. The brand sells more than a pair of shoes. It sells a moment of authorship.

Positioning matters, and Golden Goose has been deliberate about its lane. The company describes itself as a next generation luxury label operating at the intersection of couture level craft and sport style. It is widely credited as an early architect of the luxury sneaker category, and its playbook combines limited editions, boutique level service, and community facing cultural spaces. That mix has delivered steady growth and a loyal following across Europe, the United States, and the Middle East.

Riyadh is the right market for this story. The city’s luxury scene is expanding with intent, and Solitaire Mall has quickly become a showcase for flagship concepts and experiential retail. The audience here is educated in design, social by instinct, and eager for brands that offer participation rather than a simple purchase. Golden Goose arrives with the tools to meet that demand, from boutique appointments to on site personalization, and a product line that has always blurred fashion and life.

For our readers, the takeaway is simple. If you want a piece that feels like it belongs to you from the first wear, start here. Try a classic Super Star or Ball Star, then sit with a Sneakers Maker and add something that tells your own story. Leave with a pair that looks like a memory, and a brand that understands why that matters.
