Gourmet is following a classic hip-hop career arc: they got started by aping an established leader and are now moving on with their own work now that they’ve gained some notoriety.  Having jocked classic Air Jordan models for their canvas Santo, Diablo and Cease models, looks like these folks want to prove that there’s something left up the proverbial sleeve.

Here we see the two models that comprise Gourmet’s “Resort Collection” for fall/winter.  The Due has a zipper that closes over the laces, and the Quattro model is a sleek suede midtop (I won’t even mention that these look quite a bit like Jordan XIIs).  Both have a clean, understated look, and you’ll find them at PYS and other Gourmet retailers in time for Christmas.  There’s a more detailed shot of each style after the jump.  Good look, HB.
