Gourmet present their Spring 2013 collection, with the usual amount of adventurous patterns and materials that we have come to expect from the brand.

This season, it seems as if the folks behind Gourmet have gone hunting, with a large selection of the shoes featuring some wild animal skins including ostrich leather, zebra hair and snakeskin to name a few (not real obviously). The dignan takes a more upmarket approach with the implementation of a fine dogtooth in two colourways. As with almost every Gourmet design, there is a big love/hate factor to most of this collection and it’s either going to be your thing or it’s not. We won’t name names, but some of these shoe really make our mouths drool and some are just wrong, but as I said, it’s a personal taste thing.

The collection will be seeping it’s way into stores from now until June and can be expected at the likes of Urban Industry, Footpatrol, Cooshti and Peggs & Sons.
