So I placed an order with GREATS for a pair of their Royale 2.0 sneakers.

It's been 8 days. Item has not shipped.
I've followed up with customer service and they're saying there are supply chain issues. To be fair the customer service is responsive.

I don't have a timeline for when I might receive my item.

I'll give it a couple of weeks since I'm not in a rush for this but I wanted to comment here for anyone who might be thinking of shopping with them.

Maybe look elsewhere.

I like Koios more. Try that brand. Great customer service.

I'm sorry to be a hater but I don't like this outfit at all.

The color is obnoxious. The tie is a boring color, the wrong texture, the knot is too wide for his face and the tie overall is too wide. The shoes are awful. And the dude's hairline is horrific.

To me this is trying too hard.

Agreed overall. Also don't like a shawl lapel. It wants to be a tuxedo or a double breasted suit. No idea.

Things I don't like
  • The "conk"
  • The earrings
  • The fact that it's double breasted
  • The color of the suit
  • The lapels
  • The color of the buttons
  • The color of the shoes
  • The "matchy matchy" of the shoes/square/tie
  • The fact that the aqua/teal/turquoise clashes with the shirt
Is this a Sunday Suit or is he tryna pimp?

Whatever it is, Detroit Pink is not the move.

Don't mind the design necessarily (i.e. shawl collar, double breasted) but the color of the suit, gold buttons and shoes are :hhh: .

Imagine this in a dark blue/grey Glen plaid, light blue Thomas Pink shirt (no french cuff) with some chili or burnished brown AE Strands or Daltons and a textured forest green tie. Don't forget the simple white handkerchief (square fold) that peeks over the pocket opening.:ohlawd:

don't forget the apple watch. Posing like he stunting. Looks tacky like everything else about that wardrobe choice.

When's the last time you went through your closet and got rid of stuff?
Literally last week.
I got a bag in my living room that im taking out to those donation bins they have near the supermarket.

A bunch of clothes are new that I've never worn. Or rarely worn. You lie to yourself that you'll find time to wear it but you never do. It either doesn't fit your style anymore or your body. Or your age.

Makes me remember that I can get caught up in shopping for hypothetical situations I might be in, instead of what I really wear like 90% of the time.

Also, can we agree that the price of belts is out of control? What the hell is going on out here? It's the simplest crap. And somehow a decent belt runs you $60 at the minimum.

Talk about a scam....
