03 / International distribution

Selective partnerships

The right product.
The right partners.

Develop selective wholesale distribution with retailers and distributors who understand premium men’s footwear and can build a lasting local business.

Jose Real derby shoes, styled for everyday tailoring

Define the market fit

Match each product tier to the right retail environment, customer and price position.

Build selective coverage

Prioritize independent premium menswear, specialist footwear stores, luxury boutiques and qualified distributors.

Support the sell-through

Bring product knowledge, styling content, on-site demonstrations and trunk shows to the retail relationship.

Keep development close

Direct access to the founder as designer and product developer allows thoughtful responses to local customer needs and selected exclusive styles.

Coloratura / A personal retail experience

Bring the collection
to the client.

Trunk shows and custom-order appointments at selected luxury retailers create space to experience the product, discuss the finishing and make a considered choice.

Where a suitable retail partner is not available, private hotel appointments offer another way to introduce the collection to a local clientele.

04 / The U.S. retail vision

A proposed destination retail model

A destination
closer to the customer.

A personal footwear environment in accessible, non-prime locations serving affluent local communities. The ambition is to build repeat visits through product, service and relationships.

The customer

Easy arrival.
Personal attention.

Convenient parking, privacy and attentive service make the visit deliberate and comfortable. Local relationships and appointments support a business built around its community.

Room to adapt.

The long-term vision is a scalable U.S. network developed state by state with suitable commercial real estate investors and local partners.

05 / The person behind the product

Jose
Gomez Real.

Founder · Designer · Product developer

Jose comes from the family behind the founding of Mezlan in Almansa, Spain. That family connection to shoemaking forms the foundation of a career spanning more than 25 years in footwear design, product development and international distribution.

He launched Jose Real in the United States in 2015, combining his Spanish footwear heritage with manufacturing in Naples, Italy. The brand went on to reach 180 U.S. retail accounts over its distribution history.

Today, he leads the brand’s proposed in-store relaunch. Retail and distribution partners work directly with him on collection development, market needs and selected exclusive styles, bringing design and commercial decisions into the same conversation.

A contemporary point of view
