Kane netted 36 goals in the Bundesliga, the highest in Europe, marking his first win of this prestigious award despite being the Premier League's top scorer three times.
"It's a fantastic feeling," Kane said, dedicating the award to his team and expressing pride and excitement for the upcoming season.
Although Kane has amassed numerous personal accolades, he has yet to win a team title in his career. His debut season with Bayern ended without silverware, the club's first trophyless season since 2012.
Kane, whose 36 goals in 32 games for Bayern were just five short of the single-season record set by Robert Lewandowski, emphasized the importance of team success. "I want to continue where I left off last season, but winning titles is crucial," he told reporters.
Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen, who presented the award, praised Kane's character since joining the club a year ago.
The Golden Shoe, introduced in the 1967-68 season, was initially awarded to the top scorer across all European leagues. In 1997, the system was modified to favor players in higher-ranked leagues. Lionel Messi holds the record with six Golden Shoes, followed by Cristiano Ronaldo and Erling Haaland.
"It’s special to be mentioned alongside these names," Kane said.
