Mike Dirnt Donates To Show Charity

Thu, 30 Jul 2009 10:39:35 -0700

Walking a thin line between style and edge, Macbeth Footwear announced the birth of its newest "Studio Project" collaboration, the "45 RPM." Designed to the likings and style of Green Day bassist Mike Dirnt, this innovative shoe brings a unique new look that is ready to hit ground running. Even more impressive, Mike is donating all royalties from sales to shoe charity Soles4Souls, the international shoe charity dedicated to providing free shoes to people in need.

The "45 RPM" Studio Project shoe hit the streets worldwide in June on the tail of Green Day’s highly anticipated album release, 21st Century Breakdown. The shoe, just like the band, is turning heads around the world.

Dirnt's decision to personally contribute all the royalties from this shoe towards Soles4Souls has energized the charity. "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 Mike’s awesome new shoes," he said.

Spin Magazine Review of Green Day kicking off their new tour,

Sun, 05 Jul 2009 16:40:00 -0700

During Friday night's two-hour, tour-launching set at Seattle's Key Arena, Armstrong pulled onstage no less than six ecstatic fans from the front row and gave each the spotlight, for better or worse. A sold-out crowd of 16,000 looked on as one dude laid a long, lingering kiss on Armstrong's mouth, then took hold of the mic and asked, "Who wants to fuck this guy???"
