Non's (Jack O'Halloran) thigh boots from Richard Lester's superhero sequel Superman II. Kryptonian villain Non wore his boots throughout the film, including during his expulsion from Krypton and his confrontations with Superman in Metropolis and the Fortress of Solitude. Non also wore his boots during his relatively brief appearance in the first film of the franchise, Superman, with which this sequel was filmed back-to-back.

The dark brown laceless boots have a pointed protruding front collar, a tan leather interior and a vinyl outer layer. Each boot has a vertical 25 cm zipper that runs from the arch to mid-calf. The vamp and shaft of the boots feature vertical and diagonal linear seams. The boots have a broad round toe and a 6 cm platform sole, adding further height to O'Halloran's 6' 6" frame.

On both the toe box of the left boot and the instep of the right boot is a stitched 4 cm oval leather adornment. A stitched label inside the left boot features the name "J. O. HALLORAN". There is a 3 cm lateral tear in the vinyl at the top of the zipper of the right boot and the pair shows further signs of production wear, but are otherwise in good condition. Also included in the lot is a photograph of O'Halloran as Non.

Estimate: £4,000 - 6,000 M
