DC Pride Mike Shinoda LTD.
Edition Shoe

The Pride shoe is part of
the Mike Shinoda DC Remix
Series Collection, in
conjunction with the
Glorious Excess (Born)
art show on display at
the Japanese American
National Museum in
downtown LA.This second
DC Remix Series project
is a great juxtaposition
of Mike's unique
influences: accomplished
artist versus
record-breaking musician,
American upbringing
versus Japanese
heritage.Mike chose
traditional Japanese
patterns and koi scale
textures for his shoe and
packaging; the sole
features custom fish
scale tooling created
just for this project and
artwork sublimated
underneath. 'I've always
loved fish, especially
koi, and I thought the
scales would make a fun
pattern for the bottom of
the shoe.' The many
patterns in the in-box
booklet and packaging
reference fabrics and
origami paper patterns
that surrounded Shinoda
growing up. 'When I was
young, some people were
surprised to find out
that I am half Japanese.
Growing up, I always
looked forward to
celebrating each New
Year's Day with that side
of my family. I love
Japanese food and art,
so I guess it's no
surprise that those
things sometimes end up
being a part of my
work.'Mike's art,
renditions of his latest
work, is found on the
upper, the insole, and
the outsole; his
signature is on the heel;
and 'limited edition' is
embroidered in Japanese
on the tongue.
