The Beastie Boys' Ad-Rock designed a shoe whose profits will go to Planned Parenthood

Vegan shoe company Keep’s $97 Ramos midtop sneaker was designed by Adam “Ad-Rock” Horovitz, and will ship in February, with all proceeds going to Planned Parenthood, a vital woman’s health organization under sustained assault from Republicans, who use lies about the rare abortions the organization performs to enrage and focus its low-information base, without any regard for the millions of women who rely on PP for basic health services (and the much smaller number who use PP for abortion).

Designed by Beastie Boy Adam Horovitz, the Keep x Ad-Rock Ramos is a new take on our classic midtop. Inspired to make a sneaker that would keep him warm during the winter months, the Keep x Ad-Rock Ramos features a water-resistant, nylon cordura body and is lined with synthetic shearling. The ankle features a channel quilted, silicon coated nylon accent, stuffed with synthetic down. The D-ring and bungee lace structure makes for easy slipping on and off, and both black and magenta laces are included. To finish, each pair features embroidery of Adam’s name, split between left and the right shoes. Net proceeds of the shoe will benefit Planned Parenthood. As always, all of our shoes are cruelty-free and consciously produced in factories audited by international, third parties who monitor ethical working conditions.
