From running the halls to catch classes to meeting up for lunch to hitting the library for a full night of studying, students aren’t in a position to waste time or money on sneakers that can’t do it all. So what are the country’s brightest students wearing to get through long days of preparing for the future? Studious minds are turning to GREATS, the finest, smartest sneaker on the market that doesn’t cost a huge chunk of a college fund.
Based in Brooklyn, GREATS understands that so many people today, especially students, need a high-end, versatile shoe that won’t break the bank. With textbooks, dorm furniture or locker decor and endless amounts of coffee to buy, most students simply don’t have the funds to spend a fortune on a pair of sneakers. But premium shoes are still needed to keep up with those packed agendas. GREATS is dedicated to making high-quality shoes from materials like premium leather and 100 percent cotton. Thanks to an online market, GREATS can keep the costs low and deliver straight to a dorm or apartment door — buying a pair is really a no-brainer for the busy college student.
As they take the time to prepare for a bright future ahead (and those hefty student loans), most students are budgeting and are only willing to spend money on items that will last for years to come. GREATS isn’t about taking shortcuts — each pair of GREATS sneakers is handcrafted in Italy. It can take several days just to make one pair, and these shoes are being made by artisans of families with generations of experience in their craft. The result is a shoe that can withstand the longest days and only look better with age.
The Royale is a top choice with students. Its classic silhouette and simple, minimalist hues will match any outfit and look chic propped up at the library while studying, rushing into class before the lecture begins, grabbing coffee with colleagues or unwinding at a party on the weekend. They are incredibly comfortable to make those early morning classes that much more bearable and are made from premium, supple leather.
For a sportier style that can match anything from athleisure to business casual, the Court borrows its playful design from basketball heritage. Like the Royale, it still features the luxurious leather plus plush suede accents to mix things up. This shoe performs just as well on the court or at the gym as it does in class, at the library or at an internship but still doesn’t cost an arm and a leg despite the high-quality materials and versatility.
While muted tones will accompany any outfit, sometimes it is fun to be a bit more “wild” in our style choices. If you want to add a bold accent to your wardrobe, the Royale Safari sneaker is the pick for you. It features the same traditional, functional silhouette as the classic Royale but with a leopard or zebra print for a more playful vibe. The sneakers are also made with the premium leather for which GREATS is known, so they are designed for work or play. They will certainly catch some envious stares during an all-nighter at the library and are sure to earn you an A in the style department..
For a more casual look, the Royale Denim is an option that will look excellent with khakis, leggings or jeans. Available in blue or white denim, this GREATS sneaker style will bring any outfit down-to-earth, and it is ideal for running errands between classes, booking it to a guest lecture series or planning out classes with an advisor.
As more students commit themselves to improving the planet, GREATS wants to support that decision. The Royale Knit sneaker is just as comfortable, durable and stylish as the other varieties, but it also represents the equivalent of recycling seven water bottles. GREATS uses recycled plastic waste recovered from our oceans to make each pair of the Royale Knit, making it not just a sneaker but an important conversation piece.
From the luxurious look and feel of GREATS to the affordable price tag to the commitment to reducing waste and saving the world, it is no wonder so many students today are sporting these sneakers. Make the smart decision to elevate your look too by choosing the sneakers worn by the best and the brightest teenagers and young adults in the country.
