Steve Madden Gets Serious About Shoes for Men
Mr. Madden, perhaps the most famous fashion entrepreneur to be convicted
and jailed, served two and a half years in a Florida prison for securities fraud and stock manipulation in the early 2000s after having illegally traded shares from the initial public offering of Stratton Oakmont, the investment firm run by Jordan Belfort.
He opened a big new store in Times Square on Aug. 1, with nearly a third of its 2,000-square-foot floor space dedicated to his new focus: men’s shoes.
The case was fodder for the 2013 Martin Scorsese film “The Wolf of Wall Street,”
with Leonardo DiCaprio playing Mr. Belfort and Jake Hoffman playing Mr. Madden.
“We were putting all the excitement into women’s.”
