The “Luca” is inspired by the cool style of vintage trainers and cycling shoes. It has always been a desire of Mod Shoes to have a retro trainer in our collection, and now we are happy to announce that we have two !
As much as we love smart shoes, we also love the simplicity and casual styling of the old school trainers and cycling shoes.
There were many considerations behind the development of the Luca, a major one being the desire to create footwear that is still looks stylish when you are dressing casually. For those times when you are popping to the pub, going shopping, or out for the day with mates. Also we wanted something that was “old school”. Some high street brands do the odd retro styling, but then make it in tiny numbers, at limited shops, so that 99% of us don’t get a look in. If they do make a retro style, their designers always tweak it and try to appeal to both retro and modern. Our thoughts were it must look authentic and be as simple but as cool as possible.
The Luca is true to size, made of good leather requiring little wearing in. To say we are pleased with the results is an understatement.
In terms of styling , they are perfect with with jeans or shorts. You may notice that we have teamed them up with Gabicci tops, but there are loads of tops that the range of colours will work well with.

I love the look of these retro trainers and they are really comfortable. I ordered two sizes a 6 and 7,I am always a 7 in every brand but had to keep the 6 in these so bear that in mind when ordering. The only negative I have is that the branding on the trainers was faded/coming off when I took them out of the box and I hadn’t even worn them. The size 7 ‘s weren’t as bad but I would imagine that it it will come off eventually after time. I would like to add how efficient Modshoes were in both delivery and return refunds…they put a lot of bigger brands to shame with their service and and if it wasn’t for the issue with the branding on the trainers I would have given them 5 stars. Keep up the good work Modshoes and I will definitely be ordering from you again.
