The LUCA Runner offers all the best comfort of your everyday sneakers, but crafted with a fine leather and suede upper that nails any smart casual look. Each pair passes through the hands of artisans in our Portuguese factory, and is handcrafted from full grain leathers sourced from Italy’s best tanneries. Die-cut EVA midsoles are used to create a cushioned and responsive feel, followed by Vibram outsoles for hard stepping on concrete and nature-made paths. You can dress these bad boys up for the office with a utility blazer and chinos, or dress them down with light wash denim and a polo on the weekends.
