FIG. 3 is a right view thereof;

FIG. 4 is a front view thereof;

FIG. 5 is a back view thereof;

FIG. 6 is a top view thereof;

FIG. 8 is a left view of a second embodiment of the upper of an shoe upper according to the present invention, the right view being mirror image thereof; and,

FIG. 9 is a back view of the shoe upper shown in FIG. 8.

The perspective, front, top and bottom views of the second embodiment are identical to the corresponding views of the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1, 4, 6, and 7, respectively.
