Finally, Chelsea release an official basketball shoe

[the wes 7,212]

In their latest bid to increase their following in Americaland, Chelsea have produced an official basketball shoe.

The adidas TS Commander LT - which comes with a free scarf and Chelsea shirt - drops on August 29, but will only be available at a retailer named Bodega. They’re based in Boston, where NBA star and Chelsea fan Kevin Garnett plies his trade.

Quite why the Blues chose to launch a basketball shoe instead of taking the natural progression towards a football boot is beyond us, but you can take a closer look at it after the jump…
