We wake up early and jump in the car and go out to a graff wall to let Fran run wild. Being from NYC and growing up surrounded by amazing graffiti artist, Fran can paint. So he decided to immortalize a close friend and pay his respects.

Fran loved that we let him take some time out and do this.

So as we finished up painting Pete turned up and threw us in the car to take Fran surfing for the first time ever in his life. Being a city kid he hasn’t really done anything like this ever.
Pete is Macbeths Australia’s National Sales Manager but also used to teach surfing to lots of kids, even a blind person!


Never doing this ever in his life Fran was up and surfing in 2 waves. Which is a quite rare.


I think I recall Fran saying that he has never experienced anything like it in his life ever.

Macbeth Footwear introduces the convergence of rock, style and comfort with the ‘Shifty’ Studio Project signature shoe designed by the Macbeth design team and Chris Shiflett, guitarist of three time Grammy award winning Foo Fighters for Spring 2008. With a natural talent for the guitar, an extensive history of making music with influential punk bands and his love for surfing, Shiflett was an easy addition to the family of artists for Macbeth. His lifestyle is a great representation of the Macbeth culture; artistry that leaves an impression, an easygoing attitude and passion for the environment that surrounds him, specifically talking about his efforts contributing to coastal conservation.

A combination of rock, style and comfort… The Macbeth ‘Shifty’ Studio Project by Chris Shiflett of the Foo Fighters is in stores now.

MACBETH FOOTWEAR TEAMS UP WITH PAT DUFFY TO ADD SKATEBOARDING TO THEIR FAMILY OF MUSICIANS AND ATHLETES (SAN DIEGO) – Macbeth is proud to announce that they have joined forces with professional skateboarder Pat Duffy to stake their claim in the skateboarding community.  The Marin County born skateboarder joins Macbeth while skating for the world-renowned Plan B skateboard team.  Duffy’s lifestyle is a great representation of the Macbeth culture because his love for skateboarding and playing the guitar aligns him with the brands rich history rooted in the music that has fueled a generation of skateboarders in Southern California. “Pat Duffy represents so much authenticity in the sport of skateboarding and we are very excited and honored to work with such a legend,” says Marketing Director Rick DeVoe.  Plans are in the works for a signature shoe designed by Duffy and the Macbeth design crew that will converge classic skate design with Macbeth’s signature low profile silhouettes.  “I’m so excited to have been asked to join the MACBETH family,” claims Duffy, “I really dig the look, feel and whole vibe of the company. I look forward to getting started on building a clean line of good-looking, functional and kick ass skate shoes, with something for everybody!! MACBETH ROCKS!!!!”
