“Since launching MR PORTER we have always aimed to offer our global audience the world’s best shoe brands, whether they are sneakers from New York or handmade shoes from Northampton or espadrilles from Spain. We now believe that we truly do have an unparalleled selection with the best edit under one digital roof. To celebrate this we have enhanced the on-site experience to make the information and purchase path as easy as possible, and we have worked with a number of designers to create exclusive capsule collections, which will release on site during October as part of our month-long celebration of shoes on MR PORTER.”  MR PORTER Buying and Sales Director, Toby Bateman

“We are proud to be the only destination where you can find such a class of shoes with as much diversity and range. At MR PORTER you can access a French hand-made, hand-polished Berluti whole-cut; a Northampton made John Lobb, Edward Green or Church’s; an Italian made Officine Creative or Marsell; an American made Yuketen or Red Wing; a Canadian made Viberg; or a Spanish Castañer espadrille – right through to the most exclusive and sought-after Tier Zero sneakers from Nike onto the most iconic and classic Stan Smith from adidas, Old Skool from Vans, and Chuck Taylor from Converse.”  MR PORTER Buying Manager, Sam Lobban.
