Gola Classics continues to elevate the brand’s popular collaboration with cult New York label Engineered Garments for autumn/winter 2025 by unveiling the exclusive Match trainer. Inspired by the British roots of the game Squash, the Match trainer incorporates Gola’s heritage by drawing design inspiration from Gola’s 1977 back catalogue but with a unique Engineered Garments twist.
The lace fastening has been edited to feature a functional elastic panel for a distinctive look that allows the wearer to slip the trainers on and off with ease. The self-coloured EVA midsole has been elevated to double the thickness of the archive style with a deeper heel return to complement the design. Fabrication gives a visual point of difference whilst the suede and cotton twill upper features an overlaid toe panel detail that’s inspired by the 1977 original.
The Match trainer is finished with subtle Gola for Engineered Garments branding to the cushioned in-sock and tongue label, with Gola’s classic side wingflash detail in a sawtooth finish. Available in
all black, white with gum, navy with gum and Sudan brown with gum, the Match trainer was designed to be practical, functional and a new classic to the Gola collection.
The Match trainer will be available at Gola.co.uk from 5th September 2025 for £120.
