Founded in Brooklyn in 2014, Greats was a pioneer in the direct-to-consumer footwear market, aiming to offer high-quality, stylish sneakers at an accessible price point. The brand quickly gained a following for its minimalist designs, particularly the Royale sneaker, which was originally handcrafted in Italy using premium leathers and Margom soles, challenging the pricing of luxury competitors. This approach positioned Greats as a go-to for consumers seeking a classic, elevated sneaker without the designer markup.
