Description

FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of a shoe upper showing my new design;

FIG. 2 is a side view thereof; and,

FIG. 3 is a rear perspective view thereof.

The uneven-length broken lines immediately adjacent to the shaded area represent unclaimed boundaries of the design. The spaced line segments within the shaded area constitute part of the claimed design. The uneven-length broken lines showing the remainder of the shoe are for environmental purposes only and form no part of the claimed design.
