The new Mike Shinoda “Glorious Excess (Dies)” exhibition will be opening soon at the Japanese American National Museum. We get a nice preview of the works on display.

“It’s stunning ~ a definite must see ~ and what’s nice is that besides the fact that the work is technically beautiful and a fun mix of skulls, urban art, “vanitas”, mixed media wallpapering with gossip rags, a casket and silver skeleton, video and more… the way it all comes together as a thought provoking look at the life (and death) of celebrity through paparazzi and the consumption engine behind it all is fascinating ~ especially coming from Shinoda who is most known for Linkin Park and Fort Minor, and he is also an Art Center trained graphic artist and illustrator.”

Take a further look at the works on display by Mike Shinoda after the jump.

After a first initial preview last week, we can give you a more detailed look and more information on the latest DC Remix Series Project. Once again DC worked with Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda, this time on their Xander high top sneaker.

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. The many patterns in the in-box booklet and packaging reference fabrics and origami paper patterns that surrounded Shinoda growing up.

Detailed images of the Mike Shinoda DC Xander follow after the jump.

After working with Lemar & Dauley and others, DC continues to push the Xander with collaborations. Once again they worked with Mike Shinoda from Linkin Park. The sneaker comes with a clean white leather upper, beige leather accents and green graphics and signature. It also features a fish scale clear rubber sole. The sneaker is now available at Standard.

For Spring 2009, DC continues their Artist Remix Series project with Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda. Mike designed another pair of low top sneakers for Spring 2009, using traditional Japanese patterns and Koi scale textures as a theme for the project. Unique to his shoes are clear Koi scale patterned soles that reveal Mike’s artwork embedded in the footbeds. Renditions of Mike’s latest works are also found on the shoes uppers, insole and outsoles, with his signature stitched into the shoes’ heels. Accompanying each pair of shoes is a limited edition booklet of Mike’s artwork.

Look out for the new DC x Mike Shinoda Spring 2009 Sneakers in stores very soon.
