One of the main partners in creating the dapper James Bond character has been Crockett & Jones. Delivering lavish footwear for all Bond films, Crockett & Jones is taking their partnership one step further by unveiling two brand new footwear designs just in time for the Goldfinger 60th anniversary. For fans of the James Bond franchise, this marks a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to put yourself in Bond’s shoes (literally!) and be able to channel his debonaire energy all day long. These limited-edition pieces are a rare opportunity for any Bond and footwear lover to take advantage of.

For a slipper option, the brand has brought out all the stops for a luxurious James Bond velvet option that even 007 would wear to formal gatherings. Inspired by the traditional Albert slipper, this design includes the Bond coat of arms and the family motto. Featuring quilted linings, these slippers not only look luxurious but they feel lavish as well. Both limited edition pieces come in unique packaging and come equipped with a handmade shoe tree and chrome shoe horn with the 007 logo. Both options are available via Crockett & Jones’ web store and retail for $995 and $650 respectively.

Although mixing bourbon and footwear seems farfetched, two brands know how to do it. Wolverine and Old Rip Van Winkle are no strangers in combining their respective branding to create one-of-a-kind pieces that become instant classics. In their fourth collaboration together, Wolverine joined forces with the distillery to create a new work boot that’s as rich and decadent as their bourbon. Although design-wise, the boot is a refresh of the Wolverine 1000 mile collection, its distinct color and detailed accents are a breath of newness to a traditional boot. Combining the quality of Wolverine with the distinct bourbon color of Old Rip Van Winkle Bourbon, this boot is a tasty addition to your closet.

One of the most significant nods to Old Rip Van Winkle’s famed bourbon comes in this new collaboration’s colorway. As Wolverine points out, the boot’s hue is “inspired by the rich caramel and wood notes of Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year…,” making the color as rare and unique as its muse. What makes this tone even more unique is the patina the leather will develop over time and use, making each pair unique to its owner and their journey. Making this collaboration even more personal is the unique identification of each boot marked on its woven label. As a limited edition item, each pair will come with its number, giving you the sense of a custom product. On the bottom, the new boot comes with Wolverine’s 1000 mile classic wedge sole and identifiable comfort.

For Viberg, the mission is to create the ultimate rugged boot that retains a certain level of sophistication.

Using a unique Goodyear welt construction, this boot represents sturdiness you can’t find in most footwear options.

Produced in a tobacco full-grain calfskin suede, this boot has all the luxury feel on the outside.

Crafted on the 2040 Chelsea Last, it contains a flat toe, pull tab, and sock liners. With its Goodyear Welt Construction, the foot sits on top of the insole and welt that connects the entire shoe. This method allows users to mold and form the leather as they wish. On the bottom, the rugged sole gives all the stability and security to take the next step in your journey.
