Gola is a historic British sportswear brand that was officially established in 1905 in Leicester, England. Originally known as the Bozeat Boot Company, the brand is widely recognized for its iconic 'Harrington' trainers and its tagline 'Gola means Goal.' Over the decades, it evolved from a local manufacturer into an international footwear icon, particularly famous for its retro sports styles and association with football and track and field throughout the 1960s and 1970s.

Today, the brand thrives by blending its vintage heritage with modern fashion trends. While the original manufacturing took place in England, production is now managed through a global supply chain with factories located in various regions, primarily in East Asia and Europe. The brand continues to maintain a strong presence in the United Kingdom while being distributed globally through specialized boutiques and online platforms.
