Gourmet Dignan – Polka Dots

Gourmet has successfully extracted the last bit of its ‘Ape Jordan’ reputation thanks to new designs like the one above that are so crazy, you might wonder where anyone could get that kind of inspiration.  We’re not saying it’s a life and death situation like having a silenced pistol at your head or anything like that, but it might help to understand the Gourmet Dignan if you recognize the likely muse.  The Gourmet Dignan is an extension of the brand’s bar-setting venture into duck boot territory, this unique take on waterproof footwear a takeoff on the footprint/steps concealment utilized by Mark Whalberg’s Sergeant Dignam at the end of 2006’s hit crime thriller The Departed.  Marky Mark might have wanted something a bit more unassuming for his secret killer footwear of choice, but this polka-dotted pair only serves to make the distinct Dignan design stand out more, and they’ll be available at select retailers some time after the turn of the year.  via Sneaker Freaker
