James Bond 60th Anniversary Socks Giftbox by The London Sock Exchange
The London Sock Exchange has released a special edition gift set paying tribute to six decades of 007.
This gift set features six pairs of socks - including four brand new designs (The Jetpack, The Off-Piste, The Undercover, The Moonraker) and two classic favourites (the Agent and the Double-O) in new colourways - each celebrating iconic moments from the films.
In 2020, a first collection of 6 socks was released (read more here), followed by 6 more designs in 2021 (read more).
The new 2022 60th Anniversary socks are presented in a limited edition collector's box with hidden features worthy of Q Branch itself, including a hidden sliding panel detailing a timeline of all 25 Bond films.
The set includes The Jetpack, The Off-Piste, The Undercover, The Moonraker, The Double-O and The Agent - and styling notes for each pair.
Now available for £72/$95 on the 007 Store, the 007 Store USA and on UNCRATE.
The Collection
The Jetpack
Inspired by the many tools, gadgets and technologies which have been issued to 007 by Q Branch: from the not-so-ordinary black leather case in From Russia With Love (1963) all the way to the Q-DAR in No Time To Die (2021).
In Thunderball (1965) Bond escapes from the roof of a SPECTRE-infested château, he deploys his special-issue Bell Rocket Belt to take to the skies and evade his adversaries once more. It’s this iconic moment that inspired ‘The Jetpack’.
The Off-Piste
A mix of epic mountain scenery and dramatic snowy slopes have been the perfect conditions for 007 to take on his adversaries over the years: from Bond evading his would-be assassins in the opening sequence to The Spy Who Loved Me (1977), to mistreating that Stradivarius as he careers down the mountains in The Living Daylights (1987), to his thrilling chase of Hinx through the Austrian snow in SPECTRE (2015).
In On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969) when 007 escapes Blofeld’s lair high atop the Swiss peak, Piz Gloria, he tackles everything from ski-slopes to a bobsleigh run to an avalanche – all while sporting an immaculate, iconic, royal-blue ski-suit. It’s this iconic sequence which has inspired ‘The Off-Piste’.
The Undercover
Bond works best when he’s lightly armed, disguised under the darkness of a black turtleneck.
It’s also how we see Bond when he arrives on the Caribbean island of San Monique in Live And Let Die (1973) – armed only with his wits and Smith and Wesson Model 29, carried in a brown leather shoulder holster. It’s this iconic moment which has inspired ‘The Undercover’.
The Moonraker
For 60 years 007 has traveled to the farthest flung corners of the globe as he doggedly undertakes his missions.
In 1979’s Moonraker 007 ventures off the planet and into outer space for the very first time. It’s this groundbreaking, gravity-defying mission that inspired ‘The Moonraker’ sock.
The Agent
007 first appeared wearing the iconic ivory dinner jacket in the pre-credits sequence to Goldfinger (1964). Since then, Bond has sported similar evening suits in tropical conditions around the world: from his first encounter with Plenty O’Toole in Diamonds Are Forever (1971), to facing off against Kamal Khan and his Fabergé egg in Octopussy (1983), to riding the Oriental Desert Express across the North African desert in SPECTRE (2015).
It’s been a timeless look for the world’s most famous spy – and has inspired this reissue of ‘The Agent’ design in an all-new sunset purple colourway.
The Double-O
For the last 60 years, we’ve seen every incarnation of James Bond appear in a dinner jacket. It’s how the world met 007 in Dr. No (1962), and the outfit has been his signature look across generations since. By way of tribute, we’ve re-issued the ‘The Double-O’ design in an all-new midnight navy colourway.
The London Sock Exchange uses a signature 200-needle knitting process to render the imagery with next-level definition. The socks are knitted from the highest quality, sustainably-sourced melange combed cotton yarns – so they don't just look the part, they feel the part too.
Now available for £72/$95 on the 007 Store, the 007 Store USA and on UNCRATE.
