Event Recap: Young Jeezy Celebrates Partnership w/Gourmet Footwear @ Wish ATL [Exclusive Photos]

On Thursday, June 13th, platinum recording artist Young Jeezy celebrated his new partnership with Gourmet Footwear. The event was held at Wish Atlanta Boutique (located in the Little 5 Points area). Various media outlets, celebrities, and tastemakers were in attendance to get a first-hand look at shoes. The founder of Gourmet Footwear, Greg Lucci, was in the building to speak more about the partnership with the Snowman. In an initial press release, Lucci stated that Young Jeezy was the ideal candidate for the collaboration because of his ability to have “navigated himself to an aspirational lifestyle from humble beginnings.”

Gourmet Footwear is a LA-based company that separates itself from other brands by offering high-end luxury shoes for the regular guy. The brand specializes in Italian leather and other unique styles that give the average casual shoe more refined look. Several of the shoes were on display during the event. From black suede and animal print to red alligator full-grain leather, the styles and colors of the shoes were somewhat eclectic in taste and would best be adorned by the fashionably-driven who aren’t afraid to stand out. Because of the high-end fabrics that they use, you would think the shoes are pretty expensive. Surprisingly, the shoes are not. Most of the shoes, after checking their website at www.gourmetfootwear.com, cost around $100.00.

To see first hand what the shoes look like, here are a few photos from the event:
