While we can’t all be making the big bucks like the brilliant minds of the wolves on Wall Street, we can certainly dress like it. What you might not realize is that some of the smartest, most accomplished professionals of Wall Street are wearing sneakers to work that carry them through the NYC commute, long days at the office and even big meetings. GREATS stands out in the growing sneaker industry and in the direct-to-consumer market, GREATS is the Wall Street Journal’s choice. Channel confidence and style by doing what the greatest minds are doing: wearing GREATS.
Based in Brooklyn since 2014, GREATS is a sneaker company that delivers timeless, luxurious sneakers without the sticker shock. These shoes are meant to wear to the office, the boardroom, a conference and then out to the bar to unwind after a long, successful day of work. Paired with jeans, a dress or a suit, GREATS sneakers will look, well, great.
To add a pop of interest to a neutral outfit, the Royale Safari is the right move. With a leopard or zebra print in muted colors, this style is appropriate for work but still offers plenty of personality. This style pairs equally as well with skinny jeans and a white T-shirt as it does with a little black dress.
Meanwhile, the Royale Denim is casual — great for a more relaxed Friday outfit or a night out with coworkers — and comes in either blue or white denim to match any outfit in your wardrobe. The blue denim would play nice with khaki, while the white denim would complement blue jeans perfectly.
Then there is, of course, the classic Royale. This is not your average sneaker by any means — this is the shoe that the wolves of Wall Street flock to. It is handcrafted in Italy with care from premium, soft leather designed to only look better with age. There’s a wide variety of color options available in both men’s and women’s to mix and match with anything you own. These leather sneakers look great with a pantsuit; a flowy, floral skirt; a graphic T-shirt and shorts or dark denim pants and a blazer or cardigan. The options are truly limitless.
The Court style still features a classic appearance but one derived from basketball heritage. These kicks are made with the same luxurious leather in Italy and are soft and breathable enough to wear without socks, meaning they can really elevate an outfit without anything getting in the way of the overall look. The Court can certainly play well off the court — running to catch the subway, leading a team meeting on stocks and investments or hitting the grocery will all seem that much cooler while wearing The Court sneakers.
As more and more companies commit to the environment, it is no wonder professionals everywhere are turning to more sustainable products. On Wall Street, many of the top go-getters are making moves while supporting the planet, all while wearing the GREATS Royale Knit sneakers. These knit sneakers are crafted from yarn made of recycled plastics from the ocean. Each pair saves about seven plastic water bottles from the oceans, making it a good choice for your outfit and a great choice for Earth. Pair this style with an organic cotton top, ethically sourced denim, a reusable tote and a refillable water bottle, and you make saving the planet look even cooler.
So, why are Manhattan’s elite wearing GREATS? While the day-to-day might be rush, rush, rush to get the job done, Wall Street’s brightest also know that quality, care and time are important. GREATS doesn’t skimp here. Every pair is handcrafted by artisans in Civitanova, a small coastal town in Italy. Artisans take pride in how perfect and carefully they cut and sew the pieces of each shoe. In fact, so much care is taken that it takes several days just to finish one pair of GREATS. Every pair lasts longer, meaning it is a true workhorse when it comes to carrying you through the hustle and bustle of everyday life. That quality is what makes so many professionals on Wall Street love these sneakers.
Simply put, GREATS are a high-quality sneaker at an affordable cost, which makes purchasing a pair a no-brainer. The wolves of Wall Street are stopping at nothing to get their hands on a pair, and neither should you.
