Our “Ricco” trainer has rapidly become one of top sellers, and we are very pleased with this new colourway, perfect for the Spring/Summer season.
The “Ricco” is inspired by a pair of vintage ‘Bowling Shoes’ the MD of Mod Shoes sourced many years ago.
He always wanted to recreate them, but with a trainer sole
As much as we love smart shoes, we also love the simplicity and casual styling of the old school trainers
There were many considerations behind the development of the Ricco, 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 Ricco 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.
Sizing Advice – These are roomy, i am 8.5 and had an 8, they wore extremely quickly. After a few days very very comfortable. One of the staff here at Mod Shoes agrees they are easily our most comfortable trainer yet, and he especially likes the padded inner

New colours in the Ricco? Just couldn’t resist getting hold of these cream and brown ones to go with the white, blue and red I already have. Already worn them with jeans, but looking forward to rocking them with Chino shorts when the weather permits! As a few have already stated when reviewing these trainers, normally an Adidas man but these are just better in every way, fit, comfort, looks, the lot.

The best trainers money can buy. Everything is right: style, quality and price. My only beef is that it’s costing me a fortune. I now have 5 pairs of Riccos in different colours. Every time they launch a new colour I am unable to resist. I can now match my trainers to whatever else I’m wearing that day. Very Mod. Get these beauties whilst you can.
