Another Bond shoe

Stefan

During the Whitehall chase, Bond is supposed to be being wearing CJ's but it looks like its another pair of shoes.

It would be nice to see if this mystery could be solved as it looks like a damn nice pair, here is what can be seen, there is a pattern on the toe area, like a wing tip design, also there is two lace tab's on the tongue, and though the picture is bad, on the magazine I saw this I image in, one can make out the sole had a dot pattern on the sole.

Here is the closest I can find with a basic search,

Aren't they just trainers that look like formal shoes worn in place of his C&J's for stunts/running? I don't think they'd be a must have Bond item, but I may be wrong.

Do you mean I can't do stunts in my Tetburys? )

The Bond Vivant

Yup - you might fall @rse over tetbury...

If you recall I mentioned that C&J shipped them shoes with custom soles for stunt work. However this one appears to have a custom upper as well. I don't know if C&J made it or someone else. I would be shocked if it was off the rack.

There is no CJ that looks remotely like the shoes seen in the picture.

You're right. It probably is another, cheaper shoe off the rack. It's not shaped like a C&J last. I can run short distances in my dress shoes, though it's easier in leather soles than in the Dainite rubber soles from Skyfall. They break in a little, but they are so still when new that I need to use a heel cushion inside. But Dainite soles have the benefit of added durability and traction, and are they waterproof.

Look at the squired end of the shoe in the picture. It looks nothing like the second picture which is a rounded typical running shoe. The upper and sole are shaped to look more like a proper C&J but yeah it's not C&J. It's something I have never quite seen before. Anyway not your typical running shoe you can buy off a rack.

The more I look at it, the shoe sorta reminds of a Porsche design shoe, they are made by Adidas, and are like business causal meets running shoe, sort of like this

They sort of resemble these to me: http://www.zappos.com/rockport-daily-range-t-toe-black
However, I'm 99% positive they aren't the same shoes.

Both of your pictures have rounded toes. We are nowhere near an answer sadly.
