LEAGUE Certified.

This week's "LEAGUE Certified" introduces GOURMET.

Gourmet is a brand that caught my eye through it's footwear styles. If you pay close attention to the picture (Above), you will see that the footwear styles resemble classic Air Jordan sneakers with a casual/streetwear look. This brand has yet to be noticed by myself in southern states (such as Houston) and will represent the type of brand that LEAGUE will seek to carry in the boutique.

Gourmet is a brand that truly defies categorization. Above All, cornerstones influences are italian and italian-american culture. From old World italy and its grand tradition of men's wear tailoring with luxe fabrics and trends that have driven the fashion market, to italians in the metropolitan enclaves across the USA at batting cages and local giglio feasts wearing sweatpants with an undeniable swagger; Gourmet is all of the above.

For Years, refined italian and casual all-american men's looks have been imitated, rehashed, reworked and reinterpreted season after season but never before have the collided as they do in gourmet. 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 - From footwear to apparel - Possesses an understated complexity that underlies gourmet's high concept DNA. - GOURMET|NFN
