SKU: Fresco-White Blue Category:

The Fresco is inspired by vintage trainers and cycling shoes. It has always been a desire of Mod Shoes to have a retro trainer in our collection. As much as we love shoes, we also love the simplicity of the old school trainers and cycling shoes.

There were many considerations behind the development of the Fresco, a major one being footwear that is smart to wear when you need to be casual. 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 old and be as simple but as cool as possible.

If you are wondering about the name, Fresco is an Northern Italian town, it means ‘Cool’ in Spanish and is also the name of a Lambretta exhaust from back in the day! We thought it fitted perfectly.

The Frescos are true to size, made of good leather requiring little wearing in. The sample ones I wore solidly for 4 months, and they still going strong. To say we are pleased with the results is an understatement.

Each pair comes with 2 sets of laces , so that you can decide on what you like best.

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.

Colour > The colour on these is white, but please be aware that the white is not ‘Pure White’ i.e. Brilliant white, more a slightly off white, in keeping with the retro feel of these trainers.

  1. Howard st john (verified owner) –

    Bought these a couple of months ago , as I said at the time I think you’ve nailed it with these. I’ve always struggled to find a decent trainer that isn’t the usual high street type , so finding these was a relief. The leather is really good quality and this particular colour way is perfect with dark blue 501’s …(imho of course) … The delivery time was very quick also so would recommend buying from “mod shoes “

  2. Andy Lea (verified owner) –

    As good looking a pair of trainers as you could wish to buy. Recommended to all people of taste and style.

    I love these trainers, but I also would like to say that Andrew and his team at Mod Shoes are the best! It’s difficult to find cool Mod gear here in the US, but Mod Shoes stock not only fab shoes, but their taste in clothing to offer is superb. I’ve purchased several garments as well as shoes, and customer service is completely hassle free. As as example: I ordered one of the polos, and by an innocent mistake they sent me the wrong size. Normally, one would have to then post it back to the UK at great expense. How did Andrew and Mod Shoes handle it? I’ll tell you-he apologized for the mistake and sent me a second shirt in the correct size, telling me to keep the other one, and if I wished, just gift it to a friend who would appreciate it! Customer Service simply doesn’t get any better than that. Buying apparel online can be tricky; sizing etc. Mod Shoes completely took care of it to make it right. 5 Star Shopping!!!

    Excellent trainers, well made, great price, very comfortable. Had several admiring comm3nts about them already!

  5. Andy Lea (verified owner) –

    A great looking pair of trainers. I love them and would recommend them to all people of good taste. The colour is probably more mauve than blue but I think I love them even more for their purpleness.
