You are reviewing three products and getting compensated by one of the company’s?! How can anyone believe what you are saying? You said nothing negative about koio but bashed Greats? This was a “review” yet you fail to give the faults of koio?! What kind of review is that? Shame on you.

Enjoy your style tips and thanks for being that fashion expert I have yet to hire. 😏 However, I must say I didn’t really enjoy hearing your review of The Royale. Everything from the box to the quality of the product is bar none better than Stan Smith. I can understand the Air Force One top hole comparison, but The Royale is a much more premium product. I’m usually pretty silent about bad reviews of a product I love, as I’m not a fan of seeing others wearing what I’m wearing, but The Royale is a really great and comfortable shoe, and I’d hate for a bad review to possibly impact a “great” brand. I own almost every white shoe you’ve reviewed, and by far The Royale is my favorite. However, outside of this review I enjoy your content and appreciate your design tips.

Was a good video until you said $80 stan smiths over the greats comment happened. It was very misplaced, badly enough to tell you were sponsored by Koio. Because you cant say theyre pretty much the same in a sponsered video, I understand. The Greats is also just a better brand and as been around much longer than Koio. When with price aside the quality of the greats blows the stan smiths out of the water. Unforutnate that The greats are leading the space in affordably priced designer sneakers with great quality while Koio literally have copied everything they have done.

I prefer the look of the greats, a bit sportier looking than the others. Might buy them.

Greats full grain leather, made in Italy great quality shoes I’m been wearing them for 2 years, amazing quality..$179.00 And you are telling that Adidias Stan Smith a genuine leather plastic like material $85.00 when is it feels like $35.00 or $40.00 dollars shoes,made in I don’t know where, is better than greats , wow you really blow my mind away. I like to invest my money, no throwing it away.

Great review and comparison. Congrats!

Have you looked at the new republic Kurt? Just wondering since they are so cheap

I’ve never had the toe issue with my Greats sneakers. I own 15 pair of Greats and not one toe crunch/fold issue. Maybe there was once a bad run of sneaker??? Fortunately I’ve never had that issue.

i just ordered Great blanco and nero... wow... thank you... but everything u said wont change my mind...

Bought a pair of Greats Royale at Nordstrom Rack for $69.99, what a great deal on a great shoe haha. But I wanna say, there is no “seam”, albeit there is an internal Celastic toe cap which keeps the top of the toe area from collapsing. My guess is that the top edge of the Celastic is what you feel. However, Celastic is pliable (Resin-coated fibrous cloth), so over time it should soften up along with the stiff leather.

Koio hands down! Love my Capri Triple Whites.

Ashley!! Congrats on your wedding!

Nice video. What do you guys have to say on Onisuka Tiger Lawnship 2.0? I think it is in the same aesthetic with all the shoes in this video

Hey everyone. So I agree with your points and do think, as the Kaviler stated on his channel, comparing the Greats to Stan Smiths are an insult, indeed. I was even more astonished to see how woefully defensive they seem to be in the comments below. So perhaps that is a mistake (which happens. we've all been there) that hopefully they both will never make again. That being said, I must admit, after owning a pair of all three, Koio is the best out of all of them. In fact, out of these three: I would rank them in the order of 1. Koio 2. Common Projects (if money's no object) 3. Greats. That's my take.

You guys should review the new republic Kurt sneaker

Something not mentioned much here.... Leather quality is the key difference amongst the 3 sneakers here vs. Adidas or the like. Can't compare Adidas to any of the 3 in this video. Full Calfskin lining and full grain leather uppers vs. "Genuine" crap leather (made from leather splits). Same difference from a pair of Allen Edmonds shoes vs. colh haan or a similar dress shoe. No comparison in durability. Full leather lining don't stink either no matter how bad your feet sweat.

Got two pairs of greats Royale shoes about 2 years ago and they have every bit of the quality of designer shoes. They’re far more comfortable than CP and SL so I’ll take that part of the video as pure misinfo.

I believe Sperry's leather white sneakers have the sleekest, most minimalist design that we're all after. 😁👌

I appreciated that both you and Dorian gave your opinions. You like the value of Stan Smith and its definitely excellent value. Just because youre not a fan of Greats isnt cause for the bashing.

The GREATS are built like a tank. They're heavy and feel like they will last. The other one's are a touch sleeker but don't feel justified in quality for the price. I always said "I'd never pay $100+ for sneakers". but since trying greats - I've already ordered three pairs. You can also find them on sale occasionally

You guys gotta fix the mix. There’s a static sound that makes it hard to concentrate on the video

Never had common projects and don't plan on buying some, so I can't comment on those. But I have a pair of Greats Royales and I really like them. At 180$ I don't think they're worth it but when they go on sale for around 120$ I think they are. They really well constructed in my opinion and very comfortable on my feet. My pair is black leather and the perforations aren't very noticeable, especially when you have them on. I plan on buying a pair of koios soon to see how they compare. You guys should also check out Oliver Cabell!

No mention that these use Italian leather vs Stan smith made in China ? Ok just saying ,that’s a major selling point.

Great vid! I would respectfully disagree with the Greats not being a sneaker worth it’s price. It is an outstanding sneaker for it price and saying a Stan Smith is a better option due to its lower price is complete hogwash. I would prefer to pay a higher price for a sneaker that will last 3 times as long as a Stan Smith. I look forward to more content.
