vegan sneakers
Blink 182's multi-talented Tom DeLonge has co-created an eco shoe line called Macbeth for both men and women. There are lots of colors and styles to choose from, and all the shoes are made from organic canvas or denim, heat-molded natural rubber, and homemade vegan glue (many glues contain casein or other animal-derived products).
I love that he's inviting other artists to help design the shoes too! Here's what DeLonge had to say about the brand in an interview with Sneaker Freaker magazine:
"Macbeth has several characteristics that set it apart from other sneaker brands. For starters, we strive to make really good products. We are the original music footwear brand actually created by musicians. Our line is inspired directly from our exclusive group of artists, unlike other brands that simply latch on to whatever fad is hip at the moment. The Macbeth Studio Project program is something we pride ourselves on. Rather than buying merchandise rights to a band's name and logo; we work directly with an artist to capture their personality and artistic personality in each and every product. Macbeth also does a lot of charitable work with Invisible Children [a movement seeking to end the conflict in Uganda and stop the abduction of children for use as child soldiers]. We maintain a low profile, classic silhouette that is comfortable for the artist while playing on stage but also fits within their style."
Which Macbeth style do like the best?

Thanks for the help finding how to get them in the U.S. everyone!
BEWARE! NOT ALL MACBETH SHOES ARE VEGAN! Make sure you're selecting only vegan ones (check the shoe materials) before you buy!!!
-
I just found the shoes at Zappos.com really good price, we can find some sneakers on sale.. I just got one pair.. Loved them..
-
You can get Macbeth at Journeys, i bought some for my son for Christmas. Very nice shoes and they were very affordable!
-
They carry some of their shoes at Zappos.com. I love zappos, because they have free shipping both ways, so it's easy to exchange sizes.

Thanks, Brian J! I love the shoes - and will probably get the Eliot Girl's Orchid/Lavender Canvas sneakers. Love that even the glue is vegan.

These are cool! I still have a deep LOVE for Tom's (the ones that are vegan!). How COOL that a pair is donated for each pair bought new!

You have to click on the "Macbeth Studio Project" link. Go to the dealers tab, and then click online. Select the US and a list of online retailers that carry the Macbeth brand will show up!! :)

These shoes are nice I would buy from them if they had USA Shipping.
Danielle K, those prices are UK prices. I've purchased stuff from UK and they are actually almost double the price when you see that there money emblem.
I thought they were affordable when I saw the 40 but that is a bit more but I still beleive these prices are more reasonable them other vegan shoes that are over priced.
I wonder if they will be making them available in the US.

Sad! No shipping to the US :( I'm in love with these: http://macbethshop.com/index.cfm?page=product&productId=505

As Alyssa Long says, Hey! Are these just available in Europe & the UK, or did I miss something?
-
I love them! But...went to order a pair and you can't choose the U.S. as a shipping destination! Hellllllp please!
-
just had a peek at the site! So cute, and really reasonably priced. Definitely buying my next pair of sneakers from there :)
