14 years ago / 0 Comments

Peta 2 is having their 2010 Libby Awards, which recognizes the companies and celebrities who did their part to help protect and save animals.

[img=120410_shubert.jpg]Earlier this year Mike [turl=http://www.greendayauthority.com/news/511/]launched his second[/turl] shoe design with MacBeth Footwear, which had previously produced the Mike Dirnt 45 RPM's as part of their 'Studio Project'. MacBeth, founded by Blink 182's Mark Hoppus and Tom Delonge, specializes in vegan shoes, which include no real leather or any other animal parts.

The Mike Dirnt Studio Project Shubert Shoes were released earlier this year, and are still available.

You can vote for the Mike Dirnt Shuberts in the Libby awards on this page.

Thanks to Travis for sending along the news. As he said, "How's this for an obscure piece of Green Day news".
