When historians discuss Gourmet footwear’s early years, they’ll likely discuss the brand in terms of distinct phases concerning its design leanings and naming conventions. Not for nothing, this brand got started by jacking Air Jordan silhouettes and lifestyling them, but these early Italian-numbered joints were just a precursor to their identity as masters of hybridization. Recent drops come with number-names that are a bit easier for US sneakerheads to identify with and in the new Gourmet 32, we get more than a few familiar design elements.

The 22 Tall is shaped pretty similarly to the Nike Blazer High, its classic lines emphasized in a trio of simple new colorways.
