How are Greats Sneakers in 2025?

I had been considering Koio's but they just changed their brown color. The regenerative series still looks good but at 345, it gets close to the cost of Crown Northamptons or Common Projects which I see as a superior option at the price point delta. In the under 200 category Greats appear to be a strong option, though I had read that their quality had gone downhill. What are your top leather sneaker picks in 2025? (Allen Edmonds sizing doesn't work for me, Thursday Boot style isn't my favorite) (Oliver Cabell and Uniform Standards have also been considered)
