His historic win at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, where he clinched Australia’s first skateboarding gold medal with a series of awe-inspiring tricks, is a testament to his skill and dedication. Palmer’s reflection on his partnership with Golden Goose captures this sentiment perfectly: “Skate culture has always embraced the courage to dream and push boundaries to go beyond. It’s more than just competitions and tricks; it’s a lifestyle that celebrates true authenticity. I’m excited to be on this journey with Golden Goose, a brand that truly understands and shares this passion for dreaming big and staying true to self.”
The Limited-Edition Keegan Palmer Ball Star Pro sneaker is a masterpiece of design and functionality.

Designed for optimal performance, the sneaker includes a rubber sole and terry lining that evoke a retro feel. The exposed TPU strap with Velcro fastening ensures a secure fit, crucial for high-impact skateboarding maneuvers. Special supports in diamond-textured rubber, such as the half-moon on the outer side, front pad, and rear spur, are strategically placed to reduce impact and enhance durability.
Golden Goose’s collaboration with Keegan Palmer highlights the brand’s dedication to innovation and pays homage to the rich history of skate culture and the Olympics. The intricate design elements of the Ball Star Pro, like the black laces and tongues featuring Art Deco illustrations of a skate gentleman and a celebratory toast, draw inspiration from the Roaring Twenties in Paris, celebrating a century of dreams and the return of the Olympics to the city after 100 years.
The Limited-Edition Ball Star Pro sneaker is now available for $820, exclusively at www.goldengoose.com.
