Francesco Russo cuts a pointed-toe slingback pump in suede, finished with a fine double ankle strap that buckles at the side. Set on a 75mm heel, it sits lower and lighter than the ankle booties in the same collection. In black, it reads equally at home with trousers or a dress.

Francesco Russo turns the same silhouette to smooth nappa leather, softer to the touch than the suede versions and with a slight sheen. The 75mm heel, back zip and leather tab carry over unchanged, and the cap toe stays sharp against the black. It reads more polished than the suede pairs, suited to evening as much as day.
