History

Founded in 1905 in a small factory in central England, Gola initially focused on manufacturing leather football boots. The brand gained significant cultural traction during the 1960s and 1970s, becoming a staple in British professional sports and school physical education. Its Harrier trainer, introduced in 1968, remains a central piece of its historical catalog. Gola transitioned from a performance-oriented manufacturer to a heritage fashion label, preserving its archival designs for contemporary use.
