Gourmet The 35 Lite - latest pickup

Sometimes I'm in the mood for some variety in my wardrobe, you know that? So last week, I turned my sneaker focus to a brand that I don't already have at home, and I'm really excited to see what you think of this sneaker, so don't hesitate to post your opinion below the article.The GOURMET brand:The design company GOURMET Footwear is based in California and was founded by sneaker veterans Greg Lucci, Greg Johnsen and Jon Buscemi.In the past, the guys have made a name for themselves primarily through projects in the skate scene. Well-known brands such as Zoo York, Girl, DC Shoes and Hall of Fame are among the references of the three street and skatewear pioneers and already showed the trio's ambitions at the time. a few years ago, they decided to position a completely new sneaker brand on the market with GOURMET Footwear. the main aim of the design is to combine traditional Italian flair with modern Italian-American culture. This is particularly reflected in the sneaker creations, which are also characterized by high-quality materials such as leather or hand-woven canvas.The 35 Lite:The 35 Lite is my second sneaker from the GOURMET brand. Last year I treated myself to the Camo Duck Boot in the sale of a well-known department store chain in Germany and was very satisfied with the workmanship and quality.I then saw The 35 Lite for the first time at KITH, until one of my friendly users pointed out to me that they were also available at Karmaloop. What a lucky coincidence, because with my discount code DEADSTOCK I got the item for another 15% cheaper.my first impression after receiving my new shoes was very good. The shoe box looked more like a disproportionate box for wine bottles and really made a good impression, but the shoe itself also made a great impression. No blemishes, no glue residue - there was nothing to complain about in terms of workmanship. The only thing I was a little worried about was the hard upper, but on the foot, The 35 Lite really impressed me straight away. I like the camo look of sneakers more and more and the color tones in particular suit the darker season very well. The silhouette is absolutely fine and just the way we want it! Despite the hard leather upper (100% leather), The 35 Lite was very comfortable right from the start. The shoe fits perfectly and even the (small) problem with the hard leather upper was immediately forgotten after the first few meters... What I particularly like is the light functional sole of the shoe, because even if the The 35 Lite doesn't look like one, it's still a sneaker with a certain amount of technology in it.Overall, I am very satisfied with the GOURMET The 35 Lite sneaker. The brand stands for good quality materials and shoes and this has been confirmed again with this purchase. Let's wait and see what happens at GOURMET in 2014, I might still like one or two other models...Store:If you're interested in the shoe, you'll find lots of offers online, with Karmaloop being the cheapest provider and even Karmaloop range, only the sale items are excluded from the promotion.35 Lite sneakers can be found here!
