Gourmet Shoes

Gourmet L'Uno shoes.

Gourmet Shoes is a brand of deliciously stylish footwear conceptualized by veterans in the and footwear biz, namely Jon T. Buscemi, Greg Lucci and Greg Johnsen.

Gourmet Shoes is inspired by both Italian and American culture. The brand aims to break barriers by fusing sophisticated Italian style with the rugged American style. The result is a line of fabulous shoes inspired by Italian food, music, culture, and religion.

On the brand’s official website, www.gourmetinyourface.com it states, “Gourmet is both high and low, style forward yet familiar, chic and Gauche. Each Piece - From footwear to apparel - Possesses an understated complexity that underlies gourmet’s high concept DNA.”

Coming from the brand name itself, Gourmet shoes promises to whip up a line of delectable shoes by using a wide range of materials - from EPI leather to patent leather. All of these, of course, are made of premium materials and are influenced by Italian design - fused with good old American streetwear swag.

There’s no doubt behind the quality of Gourmet shoes. As sneakerfreaker.com puts it, “Gourmet footwear epitomizes duality and ingenuity by referencing iconic American casual shapes and remixing them in high-end fabrications. It combines technical and athletic elements like air technology and memory foam insoles that mingle with quality leather from a French tannery, hand-woven custom canvasses, crinkled high gloss-patent and pig skin leather, or even pony feather. The excellent materials create the sleek identity classic products, which is absolutely more than a pair of footwear to people.”
