About The Mercer Brand

The Mercer Brand is a sustainable footwear and apparel label from Amsterdam, founded in 2013 by Dutch designer Pim Dresen. The name comes from Mercer Street in New York, where he bought his first sneakers aged 10. The aim is an authentic American vintage look, with silhouettes developed in-house from sole to lace. Materials carry certification from the Global Recycled Standard, PETA (vegan), Piñatex and the Leather Working Group. There was a vegan sneaker in pineapple leather, and later pairs from grapes, apples and recycled ocean plastic mesh. The Re-Run is the signature shape, in Vintage, Vibram and weatherproof Outdoor builds. Collaborations include NASA, UCLA, Loro Piana and '47 Brand.
