Soludos

Soludos is a footwear company which was founded in 2010 by British native Nick Brown.[1] The brand’s espadrilles were inspired by the traditional Spanish shoe,[2] which Brown found he missed when he came to New York City from the Spanish coast.[3] He initially sold the shoes online from his apartment, and collaborated with Laura Hoffmann, Opening Ceremony and Jason Polan to promote the brand.[4] The espadrilles were picked up by retailers including Ron Herman, Steven Alan, Nordstrom and Bloomingdale’s.[1] They are also sold at pop-up shops during the summer months.[5][6] Soludos shoes have been featured in magazines Vogue[2] and Harper’s Bazaar,[7] and have been worn by celebrities including Kate Bosworth, Anne Hathaway, Jennifer Garner[8] and Michelle Monaghan.[9]. In 2018, Soludos now sells a variety of espadrilles, sneakers, loafers, boot, mules and sandals for women and smoking sneakers for men.
