Retro sneakers for women. The Women's Elan from the British cult sneaker brand Gola is essentially the female version of the Harrier, introduced in 1968. The iconic retro design is both tradition-conscious and timeless, and the combination of leather, textile, and synthetic materials perfectly complements this modern classic. The Harrier was originally launched as a multi-sport and training shoe and has evolved over the years into a true fashion and lifestyle statement that has definitely stood the test of time. The Women's Elan picks up this thread and presents the model in a feminine form. With traditional lacing, these comfortable shoes provide a good fit on the foot.
