Story & heritage

Daytona brings the Gola stripe into a running-inspired silhouette, trading the flat court sole for a chunkier retro-runner stance.

It is a useful counterpoint inside the archive lineup: still nostalgic, but more cushioned and sporty than Harrier or Elan.

Materials & craft

The product page lists a textile upper with leather and suede panels, padded tongue and collar, textile footbed, EVA midsole and rubber outsole.

How to choose & style

Choose the colourway by contrast: quiet neutrals for everyday rotation, saturated stripe colours when the shoe or bag is meant to lead the outfit.

Let the retro shape do the work with straight denim, relaxed trousers, cotton skirts or simple track layers; avoid over-styling the archive cues.
