LINKIN PARK Singer Launching Sneaker Line

March 26, 2007

Launch Radio Networks reports: LINKIN PARK singer Chester Bennington and Etnies sneakers are collaborating on a new line of shoes called Club Tattoo. The line, named after Bennington's string of tattoo shops, will arrive in stores this June in both men's and women's styles. Bennington said in a statement, "I'm really excited about the collaboration because it gives us a chance to blend our mutual passion for art, body and lifestyle in a unique way. Etnies and Club Tattoo live what we do, love what we do and together we've created a perfect connection between body art and street style." The sneakers can be viewed at Etnies.com.

Bennington and his partners opened Club Tattoo in 1995. There are three shops in the Phoenix area, two in Tempe and one in Mesa. The internationally known business has won an annual "Best of Arizona" award five times.

The new LINKIN PARK album, "Minutes to Midnight", arrives in stores on May 15, with the first single, "What I've Done", out at the end of this month.

LINKIN PARK will revive its Projekt Revolution tour this summer in support of the album, with MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE rumored to be on board. The two-month trek is expected to kick off in late July. LINKIN PARK will also headline the second day of both New Jersey's Bamboozle event on May 6 and England's prestigious Download Festival on June 9.
