Overview
Jawad Malik is the CEO and creative mind behind the custom shoe brand, IDRESE. With a little more than foundational knowledge of business management, sales and a passion for hand crafted shoes, Jawad took a traditional concept that has been around for centuries and built a thriving empire around it. Today, IDRESE is a powerhouse in the shoe industry.
IDRESE opens customers to a world of personalized premium shoes handcrafted by the finest artisans in the business. Every shoe that has the IDRESE crest undergoes a meticulous design process that starts from sourcing premium leather of the highest quality and ends with the finished product in the hands of the customer.
IDRESE was established to change the made-to-order shoe experience for customers wherever they are in the world. By integrating a digitalized solution into the design process, Jawad has cut back the production timeline by more than 80% without compromising the quality of the finished product. In his words, IDRESE is, “longevity, aesthetics and comfort at a great value, and nothing less; that’s our mission”.
Jawad Malik approached us because he wanted to use the media to build strong credibility for his newly launched shoe brand.
