Mike Dirnt Teams With MilitaryFamily.org
Carlsbad, Calif., February 2, 2010 – Macbeth, a Carlsbad, CA-based footwear, apparel, and accessory lifestyle brand, is proud to announce its third Studio Project collaboration with Green Day bassist Mike Dirnt.
Dirnt has been rocking crowds around the world with his band, Green Day, since 1987. With the release of the epic, award-winning album “Dookie” in 1994, Green Day became one of the first punk rock bands to capture the attention of the mainstream, and 2004’s “American Idiot” was an international sensation, selling over 15 million copies worldwide, winning multiple Grammy Awards and spawning a Broadway musical.
This third Studio Project from Dirnt will accompany Macbeth’s Spring 2011 Collection, and like Dirnt’s past collaborations, this one is also fully vegan. Dirnt chose to outfit Macbeth’s existing silhouette, The Schubert, in a rugged military green upper, comprised of organic cotton, PET (recycled plastic fibers) and a recycled polyester woven material, while the black outsole consists of recycled rubber components from tires. Additionally, the adhesive is a water-based, synthetic, vegan glue.
Dirnt has chosen to donate his royalties from the collaboration to The National Military Family Association’s Operation Purple, a program created to empower military children and their families to develop and maintain healthy and connected relationships, in spite of the current military environment. Created in 2004 to fill a need identified by military parents to help them help their kids, Operation Purple periodically sponsors camps that provide military kids with an opportunity to have fun and make friends in an environment where they are reminded that they are our nation's youngest heroes.
“I’m really excited to be teaming up with Macbeth for another Studio Project,” explains Dirnt. “Macbeth is a great company, producing quality product in a conscious way, and I’m always happy to find a way to lend a hand to great programs like Operation Purple."

Mike Dirnt Studio Project Schubert
Kicking off his 2011 Schubert collection, Mike has chosen a military theme to accent his shoe which you will see carried through on 3 different colorway in 2011. For this inaugural style, Mike went with a traditional military green rugged woven textile upper with 3 black military stars embroidered into the heel. Not only does this shoe look badass, but it also gives back to those who inspired its design, wounded soldiers- a portion from the proceeds from the sale of this shoe will go to benefit wounded soldiers and their families.
