Gareth Thomas fans will obviously be turning up by the throng-load to see the out rugby star‘s biopic — which apparently will still star Mickey Rourke and not Tom Hardy — but until that day comes, they’ll have to settle for wearing the athlete’s shoes instead. Christian Louboutin named this red-soled interpretation of a classic wing tipped shoe after his beefy Welsh friend, even recently sporting the “Gareth” at the opening of a London Design Museum exhibition celebrating his lifetime of work. And who says fashion and sports have nothing in common?

I’m a fan of Gareth but come on, apart from a red sole, how is this shoe different from thousands before it? Ugh, it is ridiculous the things that will sell these days.
