Gourmet Croc Pack, featuring Cinque 2 LXL and 35 Lite MP - Jeezy and Greg Lucci

 

The Gourmet Footwear’s Fall 2013 Croc Pack is now released to the masses. The Croc Pack was derived from a sit-down meeting between Founder, Greg Lucci, and platinum hip hop recording artist and CEO of CTE World, Jeezy. The fall lookbook includes the Cinque 2 LXL and 35 Lite MP, both made from imported, Italian crocodile.

 

The concept for the lookbook took on an organic transparency. Both Lucci and Jeezy wanted to capture the true feeling of an environment not forced, which is why the photos throughout the lookbook were taken during a dinner meeting at one of Atlanta’s top Italian restaurants (owned by chef GIO).

 

“When we come to Atlanta to collaborate with Jeezy the first thing we do is call GIO and have the private table in the back of his restaurant set up. It’s during these dinners that we tend come up with our best creative ideas. We’re not focused 100 on business. We’re rapping about family and the neighborhoods where we grew up. It’s those discussions that inspire us and allow us to visualize where we want to take our collaborative efforts.” – Greg Lucci, Founder of Gourmet.

 

The idea for the Croc Pack culminated after the initial partnership between Jeezy and Gourmet.  The shoes in this special collection were originally chosen by Jeezy in June 2013. At the time, the shoes were only samples and not the final product.  Once the final production of the shoes were available, Jeezy and Gourmet decided on these two favorites as the centerpieces for the Fall 2013 Croc Pack.

Gourmet’s slogan for the Fall 2013 line is “Masters of Material,” an ideology derived from the wide range of fabrications sourced from all over the world that provide depth and a unique look to its shoes. In addition to the Italian crocodile, other materials used include: imported, Italian snake skin; butter-soft, water resistant wolverine suede; imported, Japanese ultra-suede by Toray; and cork printed leather.
