Marc Nolan: 2025 Recap: A Note from Our Founder

2025 & BEYOND

When I started Marc Nolan seven years ago, the goal was simple: make shoes that felt good, looked sharp, and didn’t require a luxury tax on your dignity. That part hasn’t changed. The collections have grown up a bit—like we all have—but the mission remains the same.

As we head into 2026, we’re leaning further into what’s quietly become a signature: the lug sole. It’s that rare sweet spot—dressy but not fussy, casual without being careless, lightweight, durable, and ready for wherever the day (or night) takes you. Expect more versatile lug loafers for work, for weddings, for wandering, or just because. We’ve got you.

There’s more simmering on the stove: an expanded and much-improved apparel line, a new store experience, and a few things we’re not quite ready to talk about yet. But for now, just—thank you.

Thank you for supporting a small, nimble operation of twenty-five-ish people in an industry dominated by behemoths.

Thank you to everyone who’s shown up—to events, collaborations, comment sections—and especially to those who’ve liked, shared, questioned, and called us out when we’ve missed our own mark.

Thank you for supporting an immigrant who came to this country with a dream (and a stubborn belief that shoes matter 🙂).

As I’ve gotten older, my desire hasn’t changed much: I want to feel comfortable and confident in my own skin—and in what I put on it. Shoes and clothes still help me do that. Hopefully, they help you too.

We hope you love the small dent we’re trying to make in the universe as much as we do.

See you in 2026.

APPAREL & ACCESSORIES

This year, we’ve expanded the accessories line—duffels, backpacks, wallets, and belts—executed in croc-embossed calfskin and our signature hand-painted dark horse pony hair. Familiar forms, finished with just enough tension to keep them interesting.

After twelve months of refinement, the apparel line returns sharper and more considered—a limited unisex capsule for people who notice craft and quietly clock its absence. Made with a factory obsessed with fabric and finish the way a chef obsesses over seasoning, the pieces—heavy cotton hoodies, a refined crewneck, a textured Dachshund knit, and corduroy caps—cut to last and get better year after year.
