Mike Shinoda x DC Shoes Remix Series Xander | Pride
by Eugene Kan, July 22, 2008
With the first airing of this project seen with a full-fledged art exhibition titled Glorious Excess (Born), here’s a further look into artist/Linkin Park member Mike Shinoda’s DC Remix Series collection. A common theme carried over from the Glorious Excess (Born) art show is seen on two styles, the high-top Xander and Pride. Each style is marked by earthy color tones and numerous detailing from the clear soles depicting Shinoda’s artwork to careful laser etching on the side panels. It’s evident a lot of thought went into the creation of this collection with the addition of extra laces and a booklet featuring Mike’s work also included. Select accounts will share the 1,000 run with some allotted to MikeShinoda.com and DCShoes.com.College of Design in Pasadena, California. An opening reception for the public and autograph signing on July 11 runs from 8-10 p.m.
just bought the low top one, it says its on backorder until august 15 :S
One thing we all can agree on is that these shoes are the bomb. Even though I expected them to be better from looking at the different pics. on mikeshinoda.com and they are coming out in two days!!
DC was the first to put SHEPARD FAIREY, KAWS, THOMAS CAMPBELL, DAVE KINSEY, PHIL FROST and ERIC SO work on a shoe back in 2001. NiKE didn’t give artists of that level any love then!
Bite what!!! You dudes are sleeping on DC. Get ur history right. DC is the inventors of the artist colab industry that NiKE has bought their way into, like SB!
