John Elliott introduces a new iteration of the Creeper II boots with a heavyweight design and chunky silhouette for the season. The Californian designer remixes a model from 2017 and it is set to join the ongoing Spring/Summer 2021 collection.
It is different from the usual makeup of patent leather, updated with elevated materials and subtle details to update the shoe. This includes a shiny spazzalato leather that makes up the upper and it sits on top of an EVA midsole foundation, which is referenced in the namesake. It also has a custom-molded heel unit that gives an ankle opening. The Creeper II is now available for purchase online at John Elliott for $598 USD.
