Tuesday, August 03, 2004DC x Mike Shinoda for Art Center BenefitMike Shinoda of Linkin Park and DC are looking out for the art community, starting a fund through Art Center Pasadena. Support them and pick up the "Clientele Remix" dropping in Late October. ![]() ![]() ![]() see a larger version From DC: Regarded as one of the world's top art and design colleges, the Art Center is Shinoda's alma mater, and holds a special place in his heart. In his words, "By purchasing this shoe, you will not only be demonstrating your impeccable taste in footwear, you will also be contributing to something I think is very special...A college education has been invaluable to me in my life’s pursuits. We hope that our contributions will afford others similar opportunities." Named the Michael K. Shinoda Endowed Scholarship, the fund will help give talented young artists an opportunity to attend one of the foremost art and design schools in the world. 100% of the proceeds of the shoe are going to the scholarship, and DC Shoes is matching his funds dollar for dollar. Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda chose new colors and materials to create his own version of DC’s Clientele shoe. All original art of the box, hangtag, and insole was created by Mike, by hand.
