British heritage brand Gola has partnered with Engineered Garments to re-launch an archived design from Gola’s 2005 centenary collection. Immediately identified by its Gola wingflash, the Sentry shoe combines the brand’s classic detailing with Engineered Garments’ minimalist approach for a modernised classic.
Available for AW23, Sentry was re-discovered by Engineered Garments’ founder Daiki Suzuki while searching for heritage trainer options – and so the partnership with Gola was reignited.
The pared-back cup sole, with sidewall stitching, is contrasted with a lace and one bar strap upper. Full grain leather and plush suede combine to give depth and texture, whilst tonal Gola branding in the iconic Made in England italic font finish the upper detail to perfection. Giving the final stamp of authenticity is the Gola for Engineered Garments de-bossed logo in the cushioned leather in-sock.
Originally launched to celebrate Gola’s centenary year in 2005, Sentry was produced in limited numbers throughout that year and then archived. The style has been handpicked by Engineered Garments and as part of this special collaboration is available in three self-colour options, to a custom specification.
Available from September 2023, Sentry comes in three understated colourways – black, white and brown.
Sizes 6-12
£240, available at Engineered Garments and gola.co.uk
