MANILA, Philippines - Gola has just recently launched its “coolest collection” for the classic, sporty, trendy and edgy sneaker aficionados in the country.
Drawing on its British roots that dates back to 1905, Gola has stood the test of time and made its mark in the fashion world. Designed with different personalities in mind, every style complements the taste and outlook of the independent-minded Gola wearers.
“We are delighted to welcome Gola to the Philippine market — truly an iconic brand that has successfully fused the classic style of the past with the modern and upbeat fashion style of today’s market. This inimitable fusion of the past and the present is very much evident in the collections that we are unveiling today,” said Cecille Loretizo, ELRO Retail Corp. head of Marketing.
Gola is distributed by ELRO Retail Corp., a leading player in the footwear retail and distribution industry in the country.
Leading the line is Gola’s flagship signature design Harrier. The collection retains Gola’s original style but carries key look of the season. Harrier is bold yet wearable — a wardrobe staple that’s guaranteed to make a trend statement.
Meanwhile, Bullet, one of the apparel brand’s footwear design, celebrates its 40th anniversary as the top-selling training shoes.
From these two core collections, Gola unveils four distinct looks: Classic, sporty, trendy and edgy.
