2008 Spring Footwear: Gourmet

One of the brands i have had my eye on for a while is an Italian-based street wear company called Gourmet. All the founders of the brand have Italian heritage as well as experience in street wear. Their footwear is what really caught my attention however with they re-make of jordan sneakers but with canvas material and monotone bright colors. This season they are using bright colors such as: basil, Amethyst, Eggshell, Interblue, and Scarlet. The new shoes named: Santo and Diablo are modeled after the Jordan XII and the Jordan XIII. Gourmet's launched last year had different mixed opinions but was overall successful. The line seems to be growing and I will continue to follow their future collections.

Stussy X Andrew Pommier

Stussy will be working with many artist for this season's line and one of them is canadian, Andrew Pommier. Andrew uses unique cartoon-ish graphics that look clean and very fashionable. Stussy will limited the production of these shirts to 100 pieces and will be released soon.

In addition, BAPE will be releasing their 15th anniversary t-shirts which resembles their 9th anniversary shirts but just with different numbers (of course). The cool thing about these shirts is that it comes with a camo tin container that matches the camo used in the "15" on the shirt. This is truly a collectible. Available at cliffedge.co.jp
