Gola Classics at RD1 Clothing: 120 Years of British Cool
Few brands can say they’ve shaped both sport and style for over a century, but Gola is in a league of its own. Born in a small British factory in 1905, Gola has gone from humble beginnings to global icon—balancing its rich sporting heritage with a bold presence in modern streetwear. At RD1 Clothing, we’re proud to bring you the freshest drops from the Gola T Shirts and Gola Jackets collections—designed for those who appreciate timeless design and effortless style.
From Football Boots to Fashion Staples
Gola's story started with handcrafted football boots made from leather and nails—crafted by Joseph Leeson & Sons. Fast forward to the 1960s and ‘70s, and Gola was the UK’s number-one sportswear brand. From kitting out Liverpool FC ahead of their 1965 FA Cup Final, to becoming a staple on the pitch and the high street, Gola’s influence was undeniable.
But Gola didn’t stop there.
In the late ‘60s, they launched the Harrier, a versatile white leather trainer with a green suede wingflash. It took off—quickly becoming the shoe of choice for pros, trendsetters, and even school kids. To this day, it's one of Gola's most enduring styles.
The Streetwear Revival
Now, Gola fuses retro inspiration with modern-day styling—bringing you pieces like the Gola Classics Printed Ringer Tee in Navy/Gold. With bold graphics and contrast trims, it’s a standout tee that feels as at home on the high street as it does on the terraces.
