Blink shoes

It doesn't take much for shoes to attract my attention, but these in particular caught my eye.

Five reasons why I love these skater shoes:

1. They're vegan, composed of vegetable fiber, synthetic leather, organic canvas, etc.
2. Even if you're not into the vegan movement, they're made by the company Macbeth, founded by Blink-182's frontman Tom Delonge.
3. And who isn't excited to support the band that's gotten back together after all these years? (Read Erin's post about their return here. Then go see the boys Wednesday night at HersheyPark Stadium with Panic at the Disco, Fall Out Boy and Chester French.)
4. Back to the shoes, they're available at Journeys in the York Galleria Mall.
5. Or, if you haven't had your fill of the beach yet this summer, head to Ocean City, Md., where you can find the shoes at K Coast. There, you can score New Found Glory's latest album, "Not Without a Fight," with a Macbeth shoe purchase (while supplies last).
