Not every Bond shoe is polished. In Jamaica, Daniel Craig’s Bond wears something softer: a pair of tan leather boat shoes that look as if they have already done a few summers. The Sperry Gold Cup Rivingston boat shoe is, in our view, the most wearable piece in his off-duty wardrobe, and one of the few you can wear in an ordinary week.
In the film
Bond wears them in No Time To Die (2021), in the Jamaica scenes, while driving the Land Rover to Port Antonio to meet Felix Leiter. The model is the Sperry Gold Cup Authentic Original 2-Eye, known as the Rivingston, in the colour Titan Tan (STS19319). On screen they look broken in rather than new.
The details of the Sperry Gold Cup Rivingston boat shoe
Gold Cup, not standard. Sperry’s Gold Cup line is its finer tier: full-grain leather uppers, a lambskin lining and gold-plated eyelets. Sperry says the shoe gets better with time, which suits a pair meant to look better worn than new.
Two eyes and a 360° lace. The 2-Eye design uses Sperry’s 360° Lacing System, made for a snug, adjustable fit. It keeps the shoe simple, with nothing to fuss over once it is laced.
A razor-cut sole. The rubber outsole carries Sperry’s Wave-Siping, razor-cut for stability and grip in wet conditions. It still makes sense on a slick pavement or a stone jetty.
A quiet colour. Tan sits between sand and chestnut. It reads as neutral against navy, olive and white, and it wears its scuffs well.
Wearing it now
The boat shoe works best where the dress code has already relaxed: a weekend by the water, a long lunch, a drive with the windows down. We would wear it with chinos or linen trousers and a washed shirt, or with shorts in high summer. It is not a shoe for a suit, and we would not try to make it one.
Which version? The pair on screen is the Titan Tan STS19319, which can be hard to find new. Sperry currently sells the Gold Cup Authentic Original 2-Eye in Tan, and that is the one we would buy if you want the look rather than an exact match. If Tan is sold out, Light Brown is the next closest colour. For the original colourway, try stockists.
Fit. Sperry lists the shoe in regular and wide widths. Leather and a lambskin lining soften with wear, so we would choose the size that is snug rather than loose.
Care. Brush off dust, condition the leather once or twice a season and let the shoes dry naturally if they get wet. Kept this way, a pair will wear in towards the look of the ones in Jamaica. Browse more in our shoes section.
