GREATS Hirsh "Cadet"
The new silhouette unites the desert boot and classic American running shoe.
For its latest silhouette, GREATS looked back at World War II and the classic desert boot — the crepe-soled sand-colored ankle boots worn by local military men in Burma — to craft the brand new Hirsh. Improving upon the original concept by fusing the boot with cues from classic American running shoes, the design boasts a navy suede “Cadet” upper while coupling the deconstructed mid-top look with a hand-stitched leather heel counter, dual-colored EVA midsole and 100% Margom gum rubber outsole. The clean hybrid is due to be available from the GREATS web store beginning this Friday, August 28 for $149 USD.
