NEW YORK, Nov. 30 (UPI) -- Beastie Boys' Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz announced he will donate the proceeds of his new vegan shoe to Planned Parenthood.

Working with L.A.-based company Keep, Horovitz's "Ramos" shoe was designed to keep feet dry and warm in the winter and are available for pre-order on Keep's online store now.

"Winter's cold and I couldn't find a warm sneaker to walk around in," Horovitz said. "Given the outcome of our current election, it's gonna get a lot colder before we can feel that summer sun again. So I collaborated with my friend Una [Kim, founder of] Keep shoes not just because I wanted warm sneaks, but because I support small business. I support women run business. I support Asian-American run business. Net proceeds of this shoe will be donated to Planned Parenthood because I support a woman's right to choose and feel that women should not be punished for making decisions about their own lives and bodies. If you have similar beliefs, you might wanna grab a pair. Or, if you simply support fresh styles, then you too can be part of what peeps in Keeps are doing."

The shoes are expected to ship in late February.
