Apparently the sunglasses were Arnettes, by Bausch & Lomb:
"ICM, perhaps hoping to position itself as a CAA-style broker between
corporations and Hollywood, had originally hoped to raise the roof on
PP deals. The most ambitious part of its strategy was purportedly
trying to land an unprecedentedly huge fee from a sunglasses maker to
put shades on Cruise. 'Three million to put glasses on Tom Cruise.
That's what they asked for,' says one incredulous placement exec. Even
though such deals are usually handled by the studios'
product-resources divisions, it's speculated that the talent agency
stepped in because it represents James Brooks, one of the film's
producers. Brooks and ICM had no comment.
Ultimately, no sunglasses company showed them the money. 'It was an
attempt at greed,' says the agency source, 'but they didn't know what
they were doing." Cruise wears Arnettes in the film and its owner,
Bausch & Lomb, denies paying a fee. 'Tom Cruise was never involved in
that,' says his spokeswoman, Pat Kingsley. 'He went out and found some
glasses that he liked'."

I could not find the name of the exact model. Maybe someone else can
track down that information. |
