HBO Max’s “Gossip Girl” already has a lot of shoe moments.
Much like the original series which premiered on The CW in 2007, the reboot is expected to be filled to the brim with fashion and drama. In February, one of the show’s writers, Eric Eidelstein, teased a promo for the revival featuring a Golden Goose sneaker at the center of the campaign.

The zipper on the back of the boot is also made from recycled materials. Priced at $ 475, these premium boots are the ultimate 2021 update to the Constance Billiard School for Girls uniform.
