Greats hasn’t just been increasing the reach of the brand via partnerships with Nordstrom. The brand isn’t only focusing on becoming a bigger and better footwear company. Greats is making sure that even as they grow, the are investing into the community where they started. For the third year Greats Brand is joining forces with Robin Hood, a thirty year old poverty fighting organization in New York.
Join us and Be One Of The GREATS as we give back. Greats is proud to announce our third partnership with Robin Hood, New York City’s largest poverty-fighting organization, focused on finding, funding, and creating programs to support and help New York’s poorest residents. Greats has designed a special edition Pronto silhouette, with all net proceeds donated to the Robin Hood Foundation.
The brand has taken the premium crafted Pronto trainer and given it a makeover featuring nods to Robin Hood on the tongue and the heel counter. As the shoe is a Pre-order you will have to wait a few months to get your pair, but know that your contribution will be applied to an organization that helps homeless veterans and citizens. This is important considering poverty rates continue to rise as education is getting more expensive and housing rates are skyrocketing in places like New York and the Bay Area. As the country fights over whether to raise the minimum wage it’s vital that all people do their part in helping those who are less fortunate. Many Americans are only one paycheck away from being homeless.
- 1.8 million people live in poverty in New York; one of the wealthiest cities in the world.
- 1 in 6 New Yorkers rely on soup kitchens.
While making a donation shouldn’t be contingent on what you can get, at least in this instance you get something that’s dope and will let others know that they should be helping as well. Use the source link to pre-order the Pronto and here is the link to the Robin Hood site for your reference:
