Hello.

The sunglasses are made by the Austrian eyewear manufacturer
Silhouette.  The  model is "Titan Minimal Art" with "Minimal X
lenses."

From 2020mag.com:
" Cruise has fallen hard for the Silhouette eyewear styles made for
the NASA astronauts and is now the proud owner of his own customized
pair.
... the actor?s office contacted Silhouette about a personal fitting
for his upcoming film ?Collateral.? (Cruise plays a contract killer
who takes a cab driver hostage to make his rounds from hit to hit.)
During the fitting Cruise expressed a desire for a custom piece made by
combining Silhouette?s Titan Minimal Art Collection with Minimal X lenses."

"...Tom Cruise almost never takes them off. We?re talking about the
exquisite sunwear by the Austrian eyewear manufacturer Silhouette, a
company that has already created a stir with its frequent
participation in international fashion shows and film festivals.
...Actor/producer Tom Cruise has likewise taken a fancy to the sunwear
he will sport in his new movie "Collateral". After trying on a variety
of different styles, the U.S. superstar opted for a special model of
the minimalist, spare Titan Minimal Art design family."
