“Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination.”
Ok, sneakerheads, you have 10 seconds to come up with a guess as to which sneaker brand posted this as a add of a recent collaboration. Time’s up; and no, we’re sorry, but the answer is not ‘A Bathing Ape’. Instead, this message comes from an American-born brand that utilizes a process similar to BAPE’s to come up with their sneaker simulacra: Gourmet. And since we’re talking about a brand named after fine foods that borrows its design cues from other prominent labels, what better an establishment with whom to collaborate than a Korean burger shop that has been compared to Fatburger? The only way to improve upon that tightly-knit concept is to find inspiration in yet another California cow sammich distributor: In-N-Out Burger. So if you happen to be in South Korea and need a new pair of kicks, hold the lettuce, check out the Gourmet x Thunder Burger pop-up shop in Soeul, images of which can be seen when you click on the jump below. via SxH
