Gourmet’s leopard print ‘Hotpack’ proved the brand’s all-over prints can stand with the best of them, but then again, we already knew that. It was nearly a year ago that the first camouflage-enhanced suede Uno arrived at retailers, and now we see the success translated to a variety of additional silhouettes. The Gourmet Quattro S returns with a black suede mudguard in place of last year’s black leather, and will be joined by the Dieci, Dignan and Quadici. That last trio is listed in order from least to greatest amount of solid-colored contrast, a list that the latest Sedici tops with an olive upper and just a hint of concealment on the heel counter. Click through for photos of all five, let us know which looks best and stick with Sneaker News for release info. Photos: Dunk

Gourmet is arguably the most successful of the lifestyle sneaker lines launched after the turn of the century, and their lineup continues to grow and evolve to better reflect the brand’s label with each passing season. The spring 2012 lineup brings back plenty of familiar faces while adding a couple new jams, and we’ll start with a couple pairs that we previewed a short while back. The Gourmet Sedici sees its camo suede design contrasted by another pair done in the same vegtan leather that makes up its heel. That same monochromatic luxury is echoed on red and blue suede Sedici Lows, which makes this chukka-inspired family the leader of the Q1 pack. Sedicis lead the way in terms of numbers, but it might be the ‘Space Jam’-leaning Quadici collaboration with Paul Rodriguez’ Primitive that draws the most attention overall. Click through for more including appearances by the Quattro S, Dieci, Dignan and The 28, as well as the all new 35 trainer and Tredici trail shoe. Let us know which one wins this round and expect them at Gourmet‘s e-store shortly.

Last we saw of the Gourmet Sedici chukka, it’d been paired with Horween leather as part of the ‘Market Price’ collection of premium releases. The next colorway is sure to draw own fair share of attention, though you could argue that’s exactly the opposite of the intent for this design. Covered in four-color camouflaged canvas, this new Sedici C adds a caramel brown leather heel cup and black sockliner and laces to complete this earthy standout. These are nothing like the brand’s early Air Jordan imitations, so without the familiarity of those design cues, will models like this stand up to the lifestyle sneaker market that grows more competitive on the daily?

Just like most of the sneakers we buy these days, most of the materials from which they’re constructed come from foreign lands. Not so with this new drop from Gourmet that utilizes Chicago’s own Horween Leather Company to build their Market Price Collection. The Gourmet Sedici looks as good as it ever has in navy blue leather, joined by three higher cut boots including two pairs of the 21 with that duckboot style that’s so popular these days. You can see all four pairs in greater detail after the jump, then look for them at retailers around the world like Foot Patrol.
