Gourmet Shoes
J.Brunhoff | February 23, 2009Gourmet is a relavtive new comer to the sneaker scene, having been around since early 2008 as far as I can tell. (There lack of website makes fact checking difficult) They are an independent shoe company combining a unique perspective and sneaker industry pedigre that will hopefully help them rise above being another obscure streetware brand for sneakerhead kids. The brains behind Gourmet Shoes are Jon T. Buscemi (Girl/DC shoes), Greg Lucci (Zoo York) and Greg Johnsen (Situationormal/Hall of Fame). In 2008 they launched with a very streetware collection of shoes based loosly on the silohettes of the fames Air Jordan XII and XIII.
Not that I can’t appreciate some Skittle colored Jordans but I am thankful that the company has been evolving rapidly coming up with some fresh and truly original designs. Gourmet’s founders also have stayed true to their mission of using premium materials in all there shoes ranging from patent leathers to EPI leather borrowed straight from the pages of the Louis Vuitton catalogue. The photos below are some of the new styles coming for Spring Summer 2009.
