# Chunky Heavyweight Leather Boots John Elliott Updates the New Creeper II Boots for the Season By Amy Duong | Published 2021-04-07 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creeper-ii References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2021/4/john-elliott-creeper-2-boot-shoe-release-date-info) 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.
