Jax Slingback Kitten Heel

Why it's worth it

Two buckle straps on a kitten heel — the shoe that skips the safe single-strap entirely.

The Edit

Two asymmetric cross-straps — each with its own silver pin buckle — cut across the vamp in a geometry that feels deliberate without being fussy. The needle-sharp pointed toe and slender kitten heel sit in smooth matte black leather, the slingback left open at the ankle for a finish that reads closer to a Mary Jane's precision than a sandal's casualness. Silver hardware at the closures is the only interruption.
