About Mercer

Mercer Amsterdam is a high-end sneaker label, founded by Dutch designer Pim Dresen. Based in Amsterdam, the label focuses on luxury handcrafted footwear and accessories for men and women. Mercer Amsterdam was named after Mercer Street in New York City where Pim bought his first pair at age 10, the accompanying shield-logo represents the map of Amsterdam.

 

The product is produced in family-owned factories in Portugal and Italy with a heavy focus on sustainability. The main idea of the brand is to create distinct silhouettes, fully designed in-house from sole to lace to create a unique look-and-feel with a luxury touch, incomparable to any other brand.

 

Amsterdam became notorious for its collaborations with NASA, which in three different instalments created massive awareness. Additionally, Mercer was the first brand to collaborate with Piñatex in order to create the first fully sustainable vegan sneaker made from pineapple leather. Furthermore the brand has worked collaboratively with artists such as Future, Bella & Gigi Hadid, Lewis Hamilton, Chadwick Boseman, Lady Gaga, Common, Quavo Huncho, Roddy Rich, Steve Aoki, Chris Brown and more.
