The black 2-eyelet derby (blucher to the Americans) is worn by Bond with his suits throughout Dr. No and From Russia With Love and also in some parts of Goldfinger. Daniel Craig wore this style (specifically the now discontinued John Lobb Luffield, pictured below) in Casino Royale with his dinner suit, in ordinary calfskin nonetheless. This style can be found from most English shoemakers yet it is difficult to find in America. Bond’s shoes either have a cap toe or plain toe. In Diamonds Are Forever Bond wore a full brogue, wingtip 2-eyelet derby on the oil rig. Especially in a plain-toe style, it’s a sleek and minimal design well-suited to the James Bond character.

For what it's worth…
The "Andrea" from Ferragamo is remarkably similar to the one under discussion. Available at Bloomingdales for sure, possibly at Nordstrom too.
I've seen the Andrea in a store maybe once. It's a nice shoe though quite overpriced.
It retails for $530, but if you catch a sale at Bloomies (like the one that just ended), you can get it for $371.
So: not that bad.
But for that price a lot of the English shoes are still better quality and Goodyear welted. I also prefer the English lasts, but that's a personal preference.
the biggest problem I have always had with two eyelet derby has been that the laces seem to come undone faster than with regular oxfords (balmorals)!!! not something Bond would have appreciated in real life!!!
Being a Commander, Bond would know his way around a reef knot and need not worry about his laces.
