B-Boys making with the vegan shoes
To honor MCA, the great Adam Yauch, the remaining Beastie Boys have partnered with Adidas to release a vegan shoe.
This week, shoe brand Adidas released the Adidas Skateboarding x Beastie Boys Americana vegan sneaker to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Beastie Boys' album Paul's Boutique. The iconic rap group's member Adam Horovitz (known professionally as "Ad-Rock") and Mike Diamond (known as "Mike D") collaborated on the design of the shoe and made it vegan in honor of longtime veganAdam Yauch-the third Beastie Boys member who died in 2012 from cancer. The shoe features a vegan canvas upper, cotton jersey liner, gum sole, Adidas' classic three-striped pattern, and a Beastie Boys logo on the tongue. A portion of sales of the new shoes will be donated to PEACE Sisters and Little Kids Rock, organizations that work to empower young women.
