Greetings Ladies and Gents,
New to this wonderful forum. I am not sure if this has already been covered but I have just cracked the riddle of the shoes worn by Bond during the chase in Madagascar. The good news is that I found them however the bad news is that they seem to be discountinued on the offical website. I doubled checked the image with a good shot of the shoes in the book Bond On Set by Greg Williams and we have a winner.
Converse Jack Purcell OTR
Color Chocolate and Paprika
Mid ankle boot
Hope this helps,
Stefan

You only live once, live like Bond!
I do hope this link works, otherwise go to...
1.www.zappos.com
2.Search for Jack Purcell OTR
This website has the best angles of the shoe, especially the orange logo on the sole of the shoe which is clearly seen when Bond attempts to get up to the crane during the chase.
Hope this helps,
Stefan
Noticed though that none of the stills I have show the orange flash on the toe or heel; unless anyone has a different image, I suppose it's possible that the shoes were just dirty... but I wonder if these details were physically blacked-in or 'dirtied' to stop them detracting?
Also ordered a UK pair for display...just in case.
I noticed a slight discrepancy, the ones on Zappos have 8 eyelets (as do the ones in the Bond on the Set book) and the ones I seen on eBay and americanathletics.com only have seven???

I started a topic on these forums a while ago and no-one answered, well done DG
Great find by the way. Top marks.
I've just ordered a pair, but while I was searching to find the correct size for me I read somewhere that, depending on the size of the shoe, Converse add eyelets.

As far as I remember he only wore the canvas Jack Purcells at Lake Como while recovering. And I seem to remember them as being the white ones.

JACK PURCELL'S
For men's sizes, please select 1/2 size up from your normal size (if you wear Men's size 9, please choose Men's size 9.5). Women's sizes should be true to size.

Never had to do that before, but can't find any other source for these that will ship up here, so we'll see how that goes!
Quick, because they are selling out everywhere!
OK, my search begins again.
