Kanye West's latest collection, Yeezy Season 6, features several versions of the Chelsea boot silhouette, but with a twist. Previously released footwear from the designer has ranged from ankle boots and high boots to heels, sneakers and military boots. Yeezy Season 6 brings forth the familiar Chelsea boot shape in different materials and patterns.
The most unique component of the celebrity-designed boots is the durable stacked leather sole, which is not common for the classic Chelsea style. Another notable component that the new boots bring is the python color it comes in -- it is also available in a suede black, green and gray. The Chelsea boots and the rest of Yeezy Season 6 is available on the Yeezy Supply online website.
