GOLA COLLABORATES WITH ENGINEERED GARMENTS ON REVITALIZED SENTRY SHOE

The British heritage footwear brand Gola—with nearly 120 years of experience making “trainers”—has collaborated with Engineered Garments—the nearly 25 year old streetwear brand designed by Daiki Suzuki—on a new style, the Gola x EG Sentry.

This meticulously crafted shoe blends Gola’s rich history with a minimalist aesthetic. Produced in white, brown, and black, the Sentry is now available at Nepenthes New York (Suzuki’s U.S. store) and online through nepenthesny.com and golausa.com. The sneakers retail for $280.00.

For this collaboration, Suzuki delved into the Gola archives before selecting the Sentry model—a discontinued model originally introduced to commemorate Gola’s 100th anniversary in 2005. Instantly recognizable by its iconic Gola “wingflash” motif, the Sentry shoe seamlessly marries the brand’s timeless design elements with Engineered Garments’ innovative approach, resulting in a modern classic.

Crafted in England, the Engineered Garments x Gola Sentry prioritizes top-notch quality. The sleek cup sole, featuring sidewall stitching, is offset by a lace and single-bar strap upper. The combination of full-grain leather and suede provides a rich, textured feel. At the same time, the tonal Gola branding, rendered in the iconic Made in England italic font, completes the upper detailing. The debossed Gola for Engineered Garments logo adds the final touch of authenticity to the cushioned leather insole.
