TikTok is obsessed with Steve Madden’s recent podcast appearance.

Jun 02 2025

TikTok is obsessed with Steve Madden’s recent podcast appearance. Steve Madden is notorious among Gen Z for making affordable shoes for the budget-conscious girlies, creating dupes heavily inspired by styles from brands like The Row, Chanel, Miu Miu, and other major fashion houses. He recently went on “The Cutting Room Floor” podcast by Recho Omondi to talk about his brand and young people on TikTok are praising him for his refreshing honesty. In the interview, he recalls where he got the design inspo from for several shoes, seemingly unashamed of his dupes, and the TikTok clips alone garnered over 24M views in the few days after it went live. Besides making shoes for “his girls,” young women are admiring how authentic Steve Madden is in a sea of brands who are often scared to have real conversations with their audiences. (Axios)
