Gola trainers

Gola is a quintessentially British brand with a heritage dating back to the early 20th century. Established in 1905 in a small factory in central England, the brand has weathered two World Wars and various changing fashion cycles. Known for its iconic 'Harrier' and 'Chase' models, Gola transitioned from a performance sports brand into a trendy retro and lifestyle footwear staple, especially popular during the 'Britpop' era of the 1990s.

While the brand maintains its British design aesthetic and identity, its manufacturing follows modern global supply chain practices, with most production occurring in Southeast Asia and China. The brand is currently managed by the Jacobson Group, a significant player in the UK footwear industry, which has successfully positioned Gola as a global name in premium retro sportswear.
