With Kanye's Yeezy collection only increasing in popularity and buzz-worthiness, the success of the adidas Yeezy Duck Boot at New York Fashion Week added to the fashion-following's excitement. The winter boot is rugged and, in fact, looks quite functional for cold weather, wind and snow -- minus the fact that suede tends to get ruined by such natural elements.
The Duck Boot laces up high, sporting an industrial look that resembles footwear that fashion-forward construction workers or army men might wear. The colorway is a natural beige, with a thick gummed sole that boosts the wearer's height the same way Kanye's 'Boosts' do the same.
