Aptly called “Envelope,” these boat shoes were created by Nendo for Tod’s Envelope, an Italian brand that specializes in bags and footwear. Referencing actual tie-to-close envelopes, the slip-on design is decorated with two circles of fabric and a string wrapped around them in a figure eight. The smart design has an upper made of leather or suede, a sole of rubber, and an interior lining of soft mesh. Available from Tod’s, the shoes come in black, gray, blue, green, and two shades of brown.
