What you're actually buying

Midnight Court is a tennis silhouette stripped of contrast. Navy leather upper, navy sole, navy laces — the only thing breaking it up is the texture change where the leather meets the rubber.

Going tonal is what makes it work with tailoring. A white-soled court shoe reads as sportswear from across a room; this one reads as a shoe, which is why it's the pair to own if you need one that isn't obviously a sneaker.

The leather is smooth and lightly corrected, so it stays neat rather than developing character — the opposite intent to Chestnut Trail. Clean it and it looks new; neglect it and it looks neglected.
