Have you heard of The Greats?   They’re a new-ish sneaker brand that was born in Brooklyn, with a direct to consumer model.  Initially they were just a mens’ footwear company (GQ wrote that these sneaks were best for ‘any resident of earth’ haha) but now……they’ve launched a women’s line.  And?

It’s GOOD.

If you follow me on Instagram (@shanachristine), you’ve already seen me swooning over the blush pink color and seriously cushy comfort.  But it’s a sentiment worth repeating: these are very comfortable sneakers.  Like the wear-without-socks kind.  In fact, these might be the Most Comfortable Leather Sneakers I’ve Ever Worn.

Oh, and Mike likes his, too.  (Mikey likes them!  He likes them!)

Outfit Details – Shana

jacket: old James Perse sweatshirt blazer, but this Olivia Moon knit blazer is similar (just size down for a shrunken fit)

tshirt: Maje Tshirt with dot detail (black is sold out, but the red and ivory are on crazy sale!!!!  This is my most-worn date night tee.  So much so that I have both the red and black.  Wearing a size 1 for reference)

jeans: AG ‘The Legging’ in 10 year well worn

belt: old, but loving this white Topshop belt

sneakers: The Greats Royale in blush – be sure to check the sizing chart, the sizing is a little tricky.  For example, I’m a 6.5 (which isn’t offered), but found that the 7 (aka a euro 37) fit much better than the 6 (a euro 36).

Outfit Details – Mike

jacket: Mike’s gotten a ton of wear out of this short, black jacket.  His is long gone, but this Topshop bomber, Express bomber, or Banana Republic Harrington Jacket are all good options for a casual date night (or weekend).

sweater: old Joe Fresh, but I’m loving J.Crew’s classic striped long-sleeve tee for guys.  Not overly precious.

jeans: Jbrand Kane Slim Straight Jeans (decidedly not skinny jeans….but not so wide that they look like dad jeans)

sneakers: The Greats Royale Nero in black
