Macbeth Footwear was co-founded in 2002 by platinum selling musician Tom DeLonge, known for fronting such acts as Blink-182 and Angels & Airwaves. With rock music as his muse, DeLonge assembled a team of talented individuals to develop fashion-forward products that were inspired by the music scene of Southern California. Macbeth Studios presents a new short film and interview with dadlore - a San Diego band blazing new trails in the Southern California music scene. Captured in a single take at Big Fish Studios in Encinitas, the project offers an unfiltered glimpse into their creative process and the energy that defines their sound. "We weren't really even aware of, like, the live music DIY scene growing up. Coming to college is just like we were able to just build such an awesome community in the scene and that that's that's something that I really value." "I think if you're in a band to make it, over being in a band to have fun, you're less likely to succeed. Yeah, I feel like it's much more about the camaraderie in the community than anything. And if you stay true to it and you all still like each other after all those years, I feel like, you know, you have a better chance of succeeding with it." MACBETH STUDIOS TOKYO PRESENTS: MAYONAIZE X PUBLIC ENEMY by Michael Puglisi The energy of New York City throughout the 90s remains unmatched. The fashion was fresh, the art was outspoken, and genres like hip-hop were developing rapidly with some of the best artists in its category. Tapping into the cultural zeitgeist, Tokyo-based brand Macbeth Studios launches the Mayonaize x Public Enemy collection. Combining style, passion, and self-expression that blends the artistry of powerful figures, its latest pieces serve up a strong message with the uniform tagline: “Fight the Power”. Hailing from Wellington, New Zealand, Mayonaize is an artist who predominantly creates in the world of graffiti and tattooing. Known worldwide for his calligraphy-styled art on any canvas, Mayonaize explains the importance of blending passion in your profession. “Your hobbies should be enjoyable," he adds of his art, "So, for me, creating is like a motor function. My joints, my muscles, my ligaments, they all move a certain angle and when I hit that angle it's really satisfying. So a lot of what I do is just because it is satisfying for me to do it. Basically, I'm always searching for the perfect brushstroke basically.” This passion that stems from expressing your truest form is one of the many common characteristics between Mayonaize and Public Enemy and served as the basis for this collaboration. To celebrate the collaboration amongst cultural legends, we sat down with Mayonaize to talk about all things tattooing, the collection and, of course, the impact of Public Enemy.
