Noel Gallagher Is a Sole Model

Noel Gallagher keeps his favourite trainers as sharp as his tunes.

The 45-year-old has donated a pair to shoe site javari.co.uk’s trainer exhibition at London’s Covent Garden Piazza, running until Sunday.

Noel said: “I tend not to wear my favourite trainers.

“I know it’s nerdy but I tend to just look at them now and again then stick ’em back in the box, then they’re always brand new aren’t they?”

Bless him.

Beyoncé, 31, Jay-Z, 42, and Mo Farah, 29, have also donated footwear.

Trainers Owned By Liam And Noel Gallagher To Go On Display In London

The trainer has been worn by hundreds of icons from the sporting elite, such as Mo Farah and Michael Jordan, to pop's finest, including The Spice Girls and Beyonce. Not just a simple exercise shoe, they can have hidden heels such as the Isabel Marant trainers Beyoncé wore in her Love On Top video or be a towering platorm, such as Jeffrey Campbell's rainbow coloured trainers. As we predicted this week they might well be the new heels as Rihanna was spotted wearing Nike Air Jordans with her bodycon dress and Chanel bag.

To celebrate the trainer Javari.co.uk has an exhibition 'Sneaking Into Fashion' from the 18-28 October in Covent Garden Piazza where they will have on display iconic pairs including the private collections from Brit pop Noel and Liam Gallagher and vintage Gucci 1980s tennis shoes. They also have Mo Farah's winning shoes from London 2012 and a pair of Vivienne Westwood trainers from her collaboration with The Sex Pistols manager Malcolm Maclaran.

Look out for the pair of Kanye West Yeezys bought at auction for a staggering $90,000. Yep, you heard us right, $90,000 for a pair of trainers.

Robbie Williams: Liam Gallagher Is My Hero

Robbie Williams once disliked Liam Gallagher so much he offered to fight him on live TV.

But now the Take That star is so in awe of his former rival that Liam has become his fashion inspiration.

Speaking at the launch of his Farrell label at London’s Selfridges last night, Robbie heaped praise on Liam’s label Pretty Green.

He said: “I’ve been on the Pretty Green website and looked at their clothes and it should do really well because it’s really well put together.

“I think the difference between mine and Liam’s clothes is probably 40 to 50 years.

“This is genuine WW1 Winston Churchill stuff and I think Liam’s is more mod 1960s and maybe Nineties. There is a definite difference, you can just tell by looking at the style.

“If we can achieve what Pretty Green has achieved in what seems like a short space of time then that would be brilliant.”

Robbie famously offered to fight Liam at the 2000 Brit Awards following a war of words with the Gallagher brothers.

Liam threatened to break his nose shortly after Noel Gallagher branded Robbie “the fat dancer from Take That”.

But there has been lots of water under the bridge since then and Robbie is happy being talked about in the same breath as Liam in fashion circles.

The singer, who wants Olympic hero Mo Farah to model his clobber, admitted he started his own label because he feared people thought he was “weird” for liking UFOs. And his fascination made him “fat”.

He said: “Ever since I was 16 all I have been doing is make album, promote album, tour album... and I did that for 20 years.

“Then I got a bit burnt out and I was looking for something else. I thought that something else was making documentaries about UFOs. But that wasn’t going to work out for me. it just made me weird and — at the time — fat. Weird and fat, looking for UFOs.

“So I thought I would reverse out of this situation, which was a PR nightmare, and my management put the idea to me.

“I live in America, where pop stars and actors all seem to do a multitude of things.
“I pretty much thought I could do a clothing line.

“I didn’t know how we would, but we’ve done it.”

Another LA-based singer turned fashion designer has also made an impact on Robbie — Victoria Beckham. He just wishes he could command the same prices.

He said: “If we could charge £36,000 like Victoria Beckham then we would — but we can’t.”

Noel Gallagher Dedicates 'Supersonic' To Mo Farah At V Festival

Noel Gallagher dedicated Oasis track 'Supersonic' to double Olympic gold medallist Mo Farah at V Festival last night (August 18).

In a set packed with material from his debut solo album, along with classic Oasis tracks, Gallagher wowed the large crowd on the Virgin Media Stage at the festival in Chelmsford.

Before playing a special, acoustic version of 'Supersonic', Noel dedicated the track to Olympic 10,000m and 5,000m champion Mo Farah and received a rapturous response from the enthusiastic crowd. You can watch a video of the performance below.

Fans were in a cheeky mood and, at one point, some were heard chanting "where's Liam? Where's Liam?", to which Noel responded, "where's Ian? He’s backstage," referring to The Stone Roses frontman.

Noel Gallagher's Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere (Vol.2) Part Seventy One

From Noel Gallagher's 'Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere' tour diary.

Yes comrades. . . been a long time. Been on my holidays see? Very nice it was too. Went to a place called Spain. Mallorca to be precise.

So . . . as I remember the last time we spoke I was just about to play at that Edinburgh Castle? The show was pretty good as I remember it. Didn't rain anyway which is always a bonus up in Scotland (which is where Edinburgh is!).

Now after that we had a few days off. Then flew to Japan for 72 hours to do that festival Fuji Rock. Very good it was too. It didn’t rain there either which might be the first year that's ever happened. Managed to stay on English time so didn't feel too bad at all. I almost enjoyed it!!!!

As I was sleeping all day and up all night I managed to catch that Olympic opening ceremony which was on Japanese tv at 6:00 in the morning. Very psychedelic. Didn't see it all mind. How long did it go on for? 9 hours or summat? Good though eh?

Arrived back in old England and because I'd stayed on UK time guess what? NO JET LAG!!!!!!!!! Unbelievable. I'm definitely trying that next time I'm over there (whenever that'll be I don't know!).

Anyway . . . after that me and Team NG legged it to Spain for a week or so. Needed it to be honest. Nowt like sitting in the sun. When we got back to old England we'd managed to blag some tickets to that last Saturday at the Olympic stadium. Now I've been to the biggest sporting events on the planet and I've done some monster shows but to be in that stadium and feel the noise and witness the fitness of the great Mo Farah was simply incredible. I have to say when the toffs what run our country started spouting waffle about the Olympics and how it would bring out the best in us blah, blah, blah I was - like most of us I expect – thinking "oh fuck off!" and I've never been one for that last night at the proms bollocks (it's the Celt in me see?) but I have to say they were right. You couldn't fail to be moved.

Saying that - thank God the football's back. I was up at the pre-season kickabout that is the Charity Shield between God's own team and some other mob called "Chelsea". We won. In style. Looked awesome. I'm very excited about the new season as this tour finishes in November, which means I'll get to see most of it!!!

Now . . . that brings me to Wednesday night. Did a little acoustic gig for that charity Warchild at that little club in Camden called Dingwalls. Great night. Rowdy as fuck. Could barely hear myself think!

Which brings me to today and the here and now. You find me in the great city of Vienna in the great nation of Austria. Back on the festival circuit. Not sure how any of the songs go now. I'll have to wing it.

Wish me luck.

ONWARDS.

GD.
