I've been looking for another pair of SF Gazelle II's (having worn out the originals), but couldn't find them in the right colour. By chance tonight, I came across these:

The only difference is that on the originals the adidas logo on the back and on the tongue is in dark blue, whereas it looks white on here. (Having said that, just checked one of the screen cap pictures and Bond's look like a white logo on the tongue. Can't see the back on anything I have).
But the rest looks the same to me - and it looks like they ship anywhere. Schuh are a well known UK shop/outfit.
EDIT: Having just ordered a pair, it looks like I can spread the love and give 15% off to 'all of my friends...' So please feel free to grab 'em!

Yes. Considerably.

If you want to see what the SA pair look like in greater detail, I still have my pair up for sale in this thread -

FYI, the tongue is Dark Indigo (navy blue) with Argentina Blue (light blue) lettering and logo, and the back heel is Argentina Blue with the logo in Dark Indigo. The light blue accent is also a sky/baby blue, whereas the pair you reference above are turquoise which appears more green in color. But not a bad alternative given the 6-year timeframe since the SA colorway was available.
Kind regards,

Being slightly colour-blind (which stopped me flying RAF helicopters - but that's another story...) always leaves me at a slight disadvantage with things like this, so thanks for the clarity.
Either way, I've worn out the original pair, so I think these will do fine as a replacement
[Edit - and I would have loved to have bought your pair, but my feet are a little larger than what you have available
