“Who would have guessed that a trip to Spain started it all? Almost 5 years ago I took a trip with my family to the southern coast of Europe. Along the way we stopped in a British Colony named Gibraltar. That is where I purchased my first pair of Gola shoes. When I came back home I wore these absolutely everywhere and they felt exclusive to me because I knew nobody in my group of friends had the same shoes. To this day, I still own that special pair of Golas. Sure they have seen better days but, I wear them often knowing that I will never bump into someone wearing the same shoes.”
