Critical darlings the Starting Line will appropriately start their new tour today, in support of their third album, Direction, which was released earlier this year on Capitol. In November, the band will be sharing the headlining spot with fellow popsters Paramour, before manning their own tour again in December. The new video for the album's first single, "Islands," premiered on MTV yesterday and in recognition of what performing on stage can do to your feet, the band showed up to the opening of the NIKEID Studio in New York's Niketown to make their own custom sneakers. Now all that's left is a Dr. Scholl's sponsorship with free insoles halfway through the tour.
