Noah Lyles is not only the fastest runner on the planet right now, but he has also proven that he can walk with style.
Lyles, who won gold in the men’s 100-meter final at this summer’s Paris Olympics, made an appearance at a New York Fashion Week show on Friday, a month after his coronation night in the French capital.
The 27-year-old showed off his ripped physique as he walked the catwalk topless, wearing only white Adidas shorts with blue detailing and matching socks and trainers.
She also sported a similarly themed headscarf and a sleeve with the word “America” printed on both to complete her New York Fashion Week look.
Lyles modeled fashion designer Willy Chavarría’s new SS25 collection, which he launched in collaboration with Adidas.

Last month she etched her name into the history books in Paris after sweeping to glory in the 100 metres.
However, not everything was easy for him at this summer’s Olympic Games.
After winning the 100 meters, Lyles boldly predicted that she would win the 200-meter race later that week, only to settle for bronze.
It later emerged that the American sprint sensation had competed while suffering from Covid-19, forcing him to withdraw from the 4x100m relay.
In the 100m final, Lyles claimed his first Olympic gold in one of the most dramatic photo finishes of all time.
Crossing the finish line in 9.79 seconds, he edged out Jamaica’s Kishane Thompson by an astonishing five thousandths (0.005) of a second.
It marked the best moment of her career, considering that her only Olympic medal had been a bronze at the Tokyo Games in 2021 (200 m).

He was wearing nothing but white Adidas shorts with blue trim and matching socks and trainers, plus a bandana and an arm sleeve.
Last month, Lyles etched his name into the history books by storming to glory in the 100 meters.
Lyles – the first American to win 100m gold since Justin Gatlin in 2004 – raised his arms in triumph to the enthusiastic cheers of the packed Stade de France crowd, tearing his number off his jersey and holding it aloft as he announced himself the fastest man in the world while celebrating with his family.
“It’s what I wanted, it’s a tough battle, they’re incredible opponents,” he said after his epic finish.
‘Everyone came prepared for the fight and I wanted to prove that I am the man among them all, I am the wolf among wolves.’
