about us

For more than four decades, Sam Edelman has been a defining force in footwear. His career spans iconic brands—launching Ralph Lauren and Esprit’s shoe divisions, leading Candies, and co-founding Kenneth Cole—each chapter adding to his legacy of style and innovation. Inspired by timeless American elegance, Edelman understands what people want to wear. He blends heritage, creativity, and a modern point of view into footwear that fits seamlessly into today’s lifestyle. A true pioneer, he brings that same bold, trend-forward energy to his own labels: Sam & Libby (founded 1987), Sam Edelman (2004), and Circus NY by Sam Edelman (2010). This isn’t just footwear—it’s fashion with personality, designed for those who appreciate both classic polish and a little playful edge.
