A high-gloss patent shell and a matte velvet vamp give this low-cut slip-on two finishes on one upper. A piped cord seam, an apron toe line and a stacked heel carry the construction along the vamp where it's most visible, while the low throat keeps the line long across the instep. The gloss catches light where the velvet holds it flat, so the contrast reads across a room and still sits quiet up close.
