Lux loafer brand Gourmet features its very first skate shoes, the Quattro Skate that was initially presented as a teaser weeks back.  The sneakers’ sleek look compensates well enough for a skateboard shoe and the neat lines Gourmet brand is known for still remain in its overall design.  The Gourmet Quattro Skate comes in colors of neatly white and black with white soles that are reinforced with collar padding and an Ollie-proof suede toe guard.  For the majority of the shoe body, premium tumbled leather has been used with icy soles for the white pair and white rubber for the black pair.  Overall feel of this Quattro Skate has been reinforced for friendliness in the skating world and the classy branding is a nice stroke as well with regard to aesthetic and sophistication.  The Gourmet Quattro Skate design tickles the skaters’ bones with its smooth appeal and is a good enough comparison to other skate sneakers brands.

This signature pro model of Erick Ellington, Supra Avenger, has drawn a lot of criticism of being a rip-off and lacking originality because of its odd familiarity to Jordan’s IV “Bred” from which Supra actually got its musing.  This Supra EE Avenger is packaged as low-top skate ready sneakers with colors of black nubuck and white leather.  Black, grey and red colors come into play around the air bubble and underside support as well as in the midsole, that is why many Jordan IV shoe fans are outraged by Supra’s lack of ingenuity and even think a lawsuit is in order for breaching originality, although for being branded as a skate shoe, this new release 2010 Supra EE Avenger comes across well enough for the good support soles and black leather exterior.  Not a good buy if you are Nike avid, though.  Let’s just hope the comfort of its interior will compensate for the rip‑off in its overall design.

You can not get any redder than these Nike Air Max 1 Red. This sneaker has a Nylon upper made from all red, and a pattern leather Nike Swoosh which is, yep you guessed it, all red. This is probably the highlight out of this years Nike Attack Pack. $170.
