The green-red-green web stripe laid across a black leather vamp, pinned with an interlocking GG buckle. Gucci has been running this stripe since it borrowed it from a saddle girth in the 1950s, and it still does the same job — you can read it across a room.
Round toe, substantial block heel, nothing fussy. This is the daytime version of a logo shoe: a flat black pump that happens to announce itself. Wears with denim more comfortably than it wears with a dress.

Condition
Good, with honest wear. The GG buckles show notable tarnish and mottling to the finish on both shoes — visible in the photos and the most obvious sign of age here. Leather is sound with light creasing across the vamp; soles show clear wear underfoot; heel stacks lightly scuffed. Structurally solid and ready to wear, priced accordingly.
Care
Condition the leather occasionally. Leave the hardware alone — polishing tarnished vintage plating usually takes the plating with it.
