Frank Iero Demonstrates His Macbeth Cancer Fighting Shoes

Not long ago, we told you how Frank Iero of My Chemical Romance and LeATHERMOUTH designed some vegan shoes for MacBeth that included anatomically correct figures and instructions showing men and women how to check for and prevent testicular and breast cancer.

Here’s a video of Frank personally introducing the shoe in which portions of the sales go to the Syrentha Savio Endowment, a non-profit organization that works to fight breast cancer.

Frank shows where and how to cut the shoe to reveal his “artwork.”

There are two versions of the shoe, rated G and PG-13, depending on if you want to “fight” cancer, or use a more color expression, as you can see from the still frame of the video. 

Franks jokes he hopes you like it, but if you don’t, don’t tell him.

We’ll clear the air of any suspicion: We like them!

Frank Iero Screws Cancer With MacBeth Vegan Shoe

Arrivals At The MTV Europe Music Awards 2007

My Chemical Romance’s Frank Iero has completed a project for MacBeth Shoes that will allow wearers to screw cancer and vegan at the same time. Hot!

The shoe contains detailed print instructions, complete with anatomically correct characters on the insoles, which show the wearer how to check for breast and testicular cancer. Frank was both the fashion developer and the artist for these shoes, as he drew the figures inside the soles.

In an interview with Alternative Press, Frank said he based the design off a previous vegan shoe, then elaborated a little.

“I based it off the older design that I had–it was called the Wallister. I [designed] another pair–I think it was one of the first they developed. I took some stuff from that, and just added and took away as far as the canvas, low-top shoe. For my [new] design concept I just drew a couple of pictures, and that’s what came out.”

On the heels, there are two messages, depending on if you want rated PG or more risque, you can choose between “F**k Cancer” or “Cancer Fighter.”

Frank knows the ugliness of cancer personally, as his aunt is a breast cancer survivor who also had a relapse.

A portion of the proceeds go to Syrentha Savio Endowment, a non-profit organization focused on fighting breast cancer.
