The Gourmet Footwear Summer 2010 lookbook combines traditional casual kicks with some styling tweaks whose likes of which I have never seen before. This new collection probably has something for everybody.
The most interesting pair of shoes the Gourmet Footwear Summer 2010 collection has to offer is the hi-tops with the laces poking through the side of the shoe. The really cool crisscrossed pattern is nice spin on a classic look. There are even new colorways for the Gourmet UNO -- the shoe with the cut-out ankle design already made popular by Gourmet Footwear.
