Green Day's Mike Dirnt Designs Shoe for Soles4Souls

Green Day bassist Mike Dirnt has hooked up with Macbeth Footwear on a ‘studio project’ collaboration known as the 45 RPM, a new shoe designed to reflect Dirnt’s edge and style. The really cool part is that Dirnt is donating all royalties from sales to Soles4Souls.

The “45 RPM” Studio Project shoe hit the streets worldwide in June 2009, following the release of Green Day’s recent album, 21st Century Breakdown.

Using footwear lingo, the 45 RPM comes in the lax low top or aggressive high top – either way it’s totally rock n’ roll, which is not technically footwear lingo.

Both shoe options are 100 percent vegan-crafted, containing zero animal products in the construction and distribution. The shoe comes in black, but is highlighted with distressed gold lining and eyelets, and even showcases custom “45 RPM” record artwork.

“We are so excited to be a part of this incredible promotion,” said Wayne Elsey, Founder and CEO of Soles4Souls. “We are very grateful for Mike Dirnt’s generosity and encourage everyone to check out the 45 RPM,” he said.

The “45 RPM” is selling at select Journeys stores and online at http://www.journeys.com/.
