Tom Cruise Laces Into Combat Boots with Denim at ‘Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One’ Photocall

While in Sydney, Australia to promote “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One,” Cruise arrived to the Circular Quay in a casually sharp outfit. The Oscar-winning actor wore a pale blue V-neck sweater for the occasion, paired with dark blue denim Selvedge jeans. His tonal attire was finished with a light navy blue suede jacket, creating a triple-toned outfit that was smooth and classic.

When it came to footwear, Cruise laced into a pair of combat boots to finish his outfit. The “Top Gun” actor’s pair — also one of his go-to styles — featured black leather uppers with rounded toes and zipped sides. Closed counters and stacked soles with 1 to 2-inch heels finished the pair, as well as its signature front laces. The style added a timeless finish to Cruise’s look while remaining rugged and sharp for the occasion.

Indeed, combat boots like Cruise’s are an eternal menswear staple. Lace-up pairs in a wide range of heights, colors, textures and materials have been released over the years, favored for they utilitarian roots and secure silhouette. Pairs are regularly released throughout the year from a range of brands as well, as seen in new offerings from Thursday Boots, Palladium, Dr. Martens and AllSaints.

Cruise notably took a moment to share a photo with the film’s cast during the photocall, including Simon Peg, Pom Klementiff, Hayley Atwell and Christopher McQuarrie.
