Story & heritage
First designed in 1968, Harrier is the Gola trainer most closely tied to the brand’s retro-sport identity: a general-training shoe that moved easily from court sports into everyday dress.
The wider Gola story gives the silhouette context: the English sporting-goods maker was founded in 1905, later re-launched its archive-led sportswear as a retro fashion proposition, and still treats Harrier as a core classic.
Materials & craft
A soft suede or leather upper, round toe, padded collar, textile lining, cushioned footbed and rubber bottom keep the shape simple, low and unmistakably trainer-like.
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.
