Profile Pete!

Profile Fixed made an official announcement on their blog today: Tampa's own, Pete Young, along with Tony Fast, Keo Curry, and John 'prolly' Watson, is the newest member of the Profile Team; they did a really rad write up about him. I know Pete's stoked to be on board with profile, but the Tampa scene as a whole couldn't be more excited.Now get me some of those 48h hubs. Just kidding, but seriously.

Gourmet Again??

Another banger from Gourmet, this shoe is serious. It's a little less wearable than the previous designs but if you're going to do it, do it big; "it" being this monsoon of generic, plain colored, usually canvas shoes that have flooded the market which I, personally, can't get enough of.This one's called L’Cinque. I think the Wallabee-inspired sole was the best move by Gourmet on this shoe; it has got that instant classic feel but is still extremely uncharacteristic on a shoe with a fabric upper. Huf and UNDFTD got them in, no word on online availability.
