New Brand Alert: Gola

Ready to step into some vintage nostalgia? Combine that with contemporary design and fresh colourways, and you’ve got Gola. The iconic brand is making a comeback – and it’s like they never left. For a look that’s effortlessly cool without sacrificing comfort or performance, discover your new favourite pair with Gola.

Iconic Then, Iconic Now

Founded in 1905, Gola is synonymous with quality, authenticity, and British sporting heritage. From humble beginnings as a small family business, the brand has become a global icon. Two of Gola’s standout designs – the iconic shoulder bags and Harrier trainers – became global style staples during the ’60s and ’70s. From city streets to football pitches, Gola was everywhere – and seriously stylish.

Today, Gola has stayed true to its roots while delivering contemporary designs. A star of the low-profile shoe trend, Gola’s signature trainers deliver high quality and effortless style as standard. Embrace nostalgia with their retro designs, and enjoy the lasting comfort and durability that established them as an all-time favourite brand.

Each Gola shoe is carefully crafted with high quality materials and in a range of standout colourways – think cool silver, on-trend yellow and black, versatile green, or subtle navy and white. Whatever look you’re going for, Gola has a style and hue that will fit perfectly into your everyday rotation.

Style your Golas with smart trousers for a fresh workwear staple, or loose jeans and a t-shirt for an effortlessly on-trend everyday look. However you wear them, they’ll bring a classic vibe with modern flair to any outfit.

Our Gola edit features all the most loved Gola styles for men and women, including the Harrier, Elan, and more.

Classic Gola Styles

Originally launched in 1968, the classic Gola Harrier is a true retro icon. Worn by Britpop legend Noel Gallagher and many other British icons, this cult favourite shoe embodies the retro terrace trainer look with its timeless silhouette, low profile, and contrast stripe sides. Grab a pair in rich green suede with yellow stripes for a sporty look, and style them with dark wash denim for a truly vintage vibe.

With a slimmer profile but equally retro look, check out the Gola Elan. This lightweight style has a classic silhouette and is crafted with nylon and suede panelling, making it reminiscent of ‘70s running shoes. Opt for this pair in navy suede with a retro gum sole for a look that pairs vintage appeal with modern performance.

For a bolder look, the Gola Tornado features a chunkier sole and layered nylon and suede uppers. Grab them in khaki with coral details for a distinctive street-ready look, or go for mustard yellow with black accents for a timeless retro appeal.

Past Meets Present in Every Pair

The Gola Torpedo is an everyday staple: its premium cushioning delivers all day comfort, while its terrace-inspired design is enhanced by a sleek, streamlined silhouette and minimalist upper. The Torpedo’s athletic vibe means it perfectly complements an athleisure outfit – easily elevate your hoodie and joggers combo with this stylish option.

Looking for something super on-trend? Look no further than the Gola Torpedo Glimmer. The silver Torpedo Glimmer blends metallic silver and white details for a fashion-forward twist on the classic terrace design. Its slim silhouette means it pairs effortlessly with wide-leg trousers for a dressier outfit or chic everyday look.

For another retro favourite, check out the Stadium 86: inspired by ‘80s track styles, it features a chunky silhouette, trending fold-over tongue, and heavily cushioned sole. Grab a pair in the champagne colourway for luxe style that will perfectly elevate a simple black and white fit. 

Whichever style you choose, you’re guaranteed to find your perfect retro-inspired wardrobe staple with Gola.
