Mike Shinoda x DC Shoes Remix Series
 Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda has teamed with long time supporter DC for his second Remix Series project with the brand. Shinoda’s custom designed shoes will be released August 2008 and showcase an often unseen side of the musician.
Before he found fame as front man of Linkin Park, Mike attended the Art Center College of Design in California and anticipated a career to follow suit. He remains involved with his first passion of art, designing all of Linkin Park’s branding over the years, and now contributing to his latest DC project. Proceeds from the MSDC Remix Series™ project will go to the Michael K. Shinoda Endowed Scholarship in support of his alma mater. Mike designed two pairs of limited edition DC shoes, The MSDC Xander and the MSDC Pride, using traditional Japanese patterns and Koi scale textures as a theme for the project. Unique to his shoes are clear Koi scale patterned soles that reveal Mike’s artwork embedded in the footbeds. Renditions of Mike’s latest works are also found on the shoes uppers, insole and outsoles, with his signature stitched into the shoes’ heels. Accompanying each pair of shoes is a limited edition booklet of Mike’s artwork. Mike’s shoes will be showcased to the public for the first time during his gallery show, Born held at the Japanese American National Museum. An opening event will be held for the public on July 11th, 2008 from 8-10pm. Both the DCMS Xander and DCMS Pride will then be available for sale beginning August 1st at exclusive footwear boutiques worldwide and on Mike’s website: mikeshinoda.com.

DC’s are very comfortable shoes but the hightops look kinda dumb

those high tops look too much like the Supra Skytop to me, might as well get the Supras, they have better colorwaves!!!!

holy fukking christ!
What is with you kids thinking that every shoe that is a hightop and not a Nike is like a Supra Skytop?! I swear you kids think they invented the high top
Flatsole, you better swallow those words. LP is the ish. I have their albums in rotation constantly - great music.

LP is the worst mainstream thing to happen to alt rock since 2000

I can’t front these shoes are fire. I would have never thought I’d even say that about DC shoes. The sneaker game is on fire right now seriously. I probably will not cop these but they are straight.

the high tops have a vans flavor to em (old skools) so do the lows, they look like the vans authentics, colorway is clean i like the lows and im not a DC fan, but maybe ill cop.

LMAO at Fall Out Boy. I really hope that was a joke.. They are terrible and only a studio band..Just like panic at the disco… TERRIBLE Live.. meaning they are not really that good.
LP = Great Music (the last CD wasnt that great but actually LISTEN to the words). Mike Shinoda DOPE. Download the free mixtape, Fort Minor We Major. Great stuff man..
Despite all that stuff. I think these kicks are pretty dope.. im not feeling the high tops as much, but them lows are whats up. Copped the first remix’s I think ima hafta cop these as well

I gota agree with you. Linkin park is more popular then most of the bands around nowadays. Fall out boy is a group that belongs on shows like TRL, leave the real work to the pros
