Gourmet has unveiled a brief preview of their upcoming Spring 2012 collection. The brand continues to utilize high quality materials for their unique styles, which has become a hallmark of Gourmet. Some highlights include a collaborative effort with Southern California retailer Primitive on Gourmet’s duck boot inspired Quadici, and we also see an interesting leopard print pack with their Cinque 2 and 35 models. But, the strongest pieces are the Sedici L’s in a veggie tanned full grain leather, as well as a camo print Italian cross-hatched suede.

Take a further look after the jump.

Out of all the shoes we have seen for this Fall/Winter/Holiday season, Gourmet presented one of the more interesting styles with the Dignan. The entire shoe said runner, but the nylon cover said dental assistant/ER personnel member. If you added up the pieces of the puzzle such as the shoe’s name and the hospital bootie-like appearance, you might have guessed the inspiration was drawn from Mark Wahlberg’s character on The Departed. Any way, check out this video featuring Gourmet’s Greg Lucci as he explains the inspiration for the shoe.

Gourmet and Primitive have teamed up for Spring 2012 on the Quadici. The mid top duck boot inspired sneaker comes in a clean all black colorway, mixing leather, patent leather and ballistic nylon on the upper. The tonal upper came out very nice, with the Primitive logo being featured on the heel.

For the Gourmet Fall 2011 Collection lookbook, the team traveled up to the Stonebrook Manor, Los Altos Hills, California.

Story: The background story for the shoot is a man obsessed, obsessed with Gourmet shoes. The book not only features the surroundings and environment of a highly educated man of taste, but if you look closely, in almost every room, the man has dozens and dozens and dozens of Gourmet shoes. So many in fact they do not fit in his closets. They are in his study, his bedroom, his maids quarters and his wine cellars. The concept was chosen to portray an aspirational vibe. One that shows Gourmet on the highest level.

In our gallery you will see a few highlight shots from the shoot giving us some shoe previews from the famed mansion. The Fall 2011 Collection will be releasing next month at a Gourmet retailer near you.

Gourmet presents the new Quindici Canvas. The low top sneaker comes in two canvas colorways with leather accents on the heel. We like the simplicity of the silhouette and the details, but we are not sure about the logo hit on the toe of the outer sole. Otherwise a solid and easy to wear year around shoe.

Check out both colorways in detail after the jump.

Here’s another Agenda Anaheim preview from Gourmet. For Fall 2011, they take their successful duck boot meets sneaker formula one step further with a fully-developed Duck Boot more in line with the original. Of course, Gourmet stepped things up considerably utilizing premium leathers over several clean, tonal colorways. The asymmetrical lacing system is definitely a different take as well.
