Also worn in 007's latest film ' No Time to Die! The leather shoes worn by Bond in the film, Crockett & Jones' " Highbury

The popular Crockett & Jones “Highbury” model has appeared in past 007 films, and is said to be worn by James Bond in the latest film, ‘ No Time to Die,’ whose release has been postponed since 2020, and many fans are eagerly awaiting its screening. This time, we focus on the “Highbury,” a mature and sexy three-eyelet hole shoe made by Crockett & Jones, the Bond’s official shoe company!

” Crockett & Jones” is a shoemaker born and bred by a shoemaker

Crockett & Jones is a shoe brand that originated in 1978 when James Crockett (and his sister’s spouse and brother-in-law, Charles Jones) opened a shoe factory in Northampton, a shoe town in England. Both were born into a family of shoemakers in Northampton and were skilled craftsmen, but both focused on mass-producing ready-made shoes from early on and were quick to introduce the “Goodyear-welted method” developed by Charles Goodyear of the United States, which sews the inner sole and main sole (outsole) together with a welt using a sewing machine. In 1924, the Duke of York, who later became King George VI, visited the factory, attracting the attention of the British public. The company is known for its efficient production of products and its reputation for honest manufacturing and high quality, and during World War II, it manufactured more than 10,000 pairs of British military shoes.

Crockett & Jones was a behind-the-scenes player in the British shoe industry, also OEM for many shoe and apparel brands

The modern Crockett & Jones is undoubtedly a British shoe brand that is highly regarded worldwide, but it has also handled OEM (subcontracted production for other brands) for many brands originally as a shoe factory. The company has also been involved in OEM (subcontracted production for other brands) of a number of brands as a shoe factory, including JOHN LOBB and George Clevery, which are also British shoe brands, and apparel brands, including not only British brands but also Brooks Brothers and Ralph Lauren in the United States. In fact, until recently, the company’s main business was OEM production.

Until recently, Crockett & Jones had been a behind-the-scenes player in the British shoe industry, mainly engaged in OEM production, and had a strong image as a “common man’s shoe manufacturer” in the U.K. After Jonathan Jones, the fourth generation of the company, became the current president, the company began to scale back its OEM production and focus on its own brand. The company has begun to focus on its own brand. In addition to the standard collection, the company started a new hand-grade line, which led to a breakthrough as an independent shoe brand. The company continues to produce high-quality materials, highly skilled craftsmen, and diligent shoemaking by utilizing the know-how cultivated through OEM production for various high-end brands. In just one generation, the company has established itself from a commoner’s shoe to a world-class “British luxury shoe,” and it is a powerful shoe manufacturer.
