Green Day Bassist Mike Dirnt Launches Studio Project Shoe to Benefit
Soles4Souls, The Shoe Charity
Macbeth Footwear Creates the "45 RPM" in tandem with rock star; shoe is
selling at select Journeys stores and online at www.journeys.com

CARLSBAD, Calif. and NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Walking a thin
line between style and edge, Macbeth Footwear is proud to announce the birth
of its newest "Studio Project" collaboration, the "45 RPM." Designed to the
likings and style of none other than 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 2009, 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.

The "45 RPM" comes in the lax low top or aggressive high top, so choose your
statement and rock it fully; either way, both 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. If that's
not enough, the shoe's boot-like construction is sure to fit Mike's unique
style.

Macbeth Footwear is excited to get these shoes onto your feet so you can check
out "21st Century Breakdown" in the utmost appropriate style. 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.
