Mike Dirnt has designed his second vegan shoe for MacBeth shoes.

Available July 2010 with a presale beginning in June, the Green Day bassist’s studio project is a black and white synthetic leather high top, 100% vegan, including a water based glue.

The Schubert is said to not only be vegan, but offer increased ankle support.

Blink-182 is on their highly anticipated reunion tour, with 50 U.S. dates set up.

Guitarist Tom DeLonge plays the role of multi-tasker, also having a side musical project, Angels and Airwaves, and a shoe company, MacBeth, which features trendy vegan shoes for both men and women.

“We just released a shoe from Mike Dirnt of Green Day, we having stuff coming up from Davey Havok of AFI, Frankie from My Chemical Romance, a special shoe from Muse and a lot of rad stuff,” DeLonge said. “It has taken a few years for people to realize Macbeth is a really good shoe company, and we are trying to work with the coolest bands possible. The shoes are awesome, and I think people are finally catching on, and it is doing better than it has ever done. We are securing a place in shoe history.”

Macbeth’s first shoe, The Eliot, was launched in 2002.

The rest was history.

Mike Dirnt of Green Day has been busy in more than one studio lately.

Besides recording the band’s latest album, 21st Century Breakdown, Mike’s been plugging away at Macbeth’s vegan shoe headquarters, putting the finishing touches on his personally designed shoe, the 45 RPM.

Like most other Macbeth shoes, the 45 RPM is completely vegan. The style comes in both low top and high top varieties and are available at Journeys.com.

Vegan shoes are comprised of several materials that are either natural or synthetic, such as nylon or PVC, and often designed to imitate the look of leather. Even the glue holding the materials together is free of animal products.
