Steve Madden

Steve Madden is a man of many hats - and shoes - and cannot be described in one word. He is an entrepreneur, an award-winning designer, a business titan and a family man. The eponymous shoe designer is also the subject of the documentary MADDMAN: The Steve Madden Story on Netflix. A film that looks into the man who built a thriving brand and almost lost it to “The Wolf of Wall Street,” only to spring back with a global empire. He endured failures and of course successes without forgetting his humble beginnings or his main consumer, resulting in millions of adoring fans around the world.  Considered the fashion shoe boss of the 21st century, Madden has an innate sense of what's hot, what's next, what's exciting and more importantly, how it translates to the customer. Inspired by rock & roll, fused with a touch of sex appeal and urban edge, Madden creates shoes that are innovative, fun, sometimes wild and always spot-on-chic.
