Fans of Gourmet Footwear collections will be happy to see that models like ‘The 35 Lite’ and ‘Quadici Lite’ are available in some new colors and materials. Gourmet Footwear has also put out a new model named the ‘Libero’ which looks functional enough for sport while holding onto the style that Gourmet Footwear is known for.
The materials used in the Gourmet Footwear Spring 2014 collection are as diverse as they are bright; they’re the perfect sneakers to rock when the sun comes out. You can buy sneakers that use Imported Italian fat cork, Nubuck leather, cactus leather, embossed crocodile leather, painted full grain suede and even a foiled full grain leather. Some of the newer athletic looking shoes are built using a lightweight compression molded foam for comfort and functionality while the other models stick to a more traditional cupsole.
Whatever model you decide to roll in this spring, you can be sure that you’ll intrigue sneaker heads and have the sweetest kicks around.
