About the brand
Gola is a quintessentially British sportswear brand with over a century of heritage, founded in 1905 in Leicester, England. Originally specializing in football boots, the brand's name is believed to be an anagram of 'goal,' reflecting its deep sporting roots. Gola rose to prominence in the 1960s and 70s as Britain's number one sportswear brand, creating iconic designs like the Harrier trainers and messenger bags that became cultural symbols. After surviving two World Wars and various commercial challenges, Gola successfully reinvented itself in the late 1990s as a lifestyle brand, blending vintage aesthetics with modern comfort. The brand's retro-inspired collections draw from its extensive archives, featuring bold colors, signature stripes, and premium materials like leather, suede, and canvas. Today, Gola maintains its authentic British personality while delivering contemporary designs that resonate with fashion-conscious consumers seeking quality, heritage, and effortless style.
