They’ve pretty well established over the past five-plus years that even if the design elements are familar (because that’s the idea, after all) Gourmet is going to be ahead of the curve compared to the mainstream sneaker market. They schooled us all BAPE-USA-style on how Nike and Jordan Brand have contributed to the foundations of sneaker design, beat everybody to the ‘duck boot’ punch and recently ran laps around other brands with their wild animal prints. In fact, the Gourmet has already used enough leopard that they’re looking to get even more exotic with the jungle cat selections, and now we’re looking at the closest thing to a ‘pack’ that they’ve offered to date. The Gourmet Quattro S, Dieci 2 SN and The 35 are all done up in ocelot ultrasuede constrasting black leather, so while the colors and feral theme are familiar (as are lines borrowed from Air Jordans XII and XIII along with the Puma Blaze of Glory -slash- Pump Omni, respectively), the use of a new print puts these out in front of the pack.
