Streetwise skate crew ONLY NY has evolved—seemingly overnight—from T-shirts and 5-panel caps to a full-fledged apparel line complete with its own Lower East Side storefront. Today, the brand steps into the footwear game, partnering with Greats for a custom sneaker thats equal parts grown-up gent and reformed skate rat. Available in black calf leather and beige nubuck with ONLY's signature mackaral print on the insole, the Royale, which clocks in at under $160, is by far the cleanest and thriftiest sneakers we've seen this spring. The Royale drops online today at ONLY and Greats. Act fast though; with a super-limited run of only 100 pairs for each colorway, these won't be around for long.
