When I saw the name of this brand of trainers { sneakers to my American readers..}, my heart stopped for just a second. I am a HUGE fan of cool sneaks; to the extent that if a vibrant pair of high tops pass me on the street my head turns as though it wear a pretty woman and I a scruffy construction worker.

Gourmet food meets sneakers? Not quite, but <a href="http://gourmetfootwear.com/">Gourmet</a> Sneaks are yummy none the less and in shades reminiscent of food. An Italian-American company, Gourmet combines the Italian reputation for well executed, luxe menswear with the American necessity to be casual and comfortable. The result are sneaks in vibrant colours, with immpeccable seams and a head turning appeal. I am excited by Gourmet's own words:
<blockquote>This is a new, revolutionary, remixed laid back luxury inspired by Italian culture, food, religion and music. Gourmet is both high and low, style forward yet familiar, chic and Gauche. Each piece possesses an understated complexity that underlies gourmet's high concept DNA.</blockquote>
I am SOLD. If only they made sneaks for gals...who am I kidding?? I would absolutely <a href="http://gourmetfootwear.com/collections/all-products/products/nove">wear a pair</a> of the men's without shame, they are just that good.
