In addition to the limited edition shoes, Pearl Izumi also offers Amy D. jerseys, shorts and bibs to support the Amy D. Foundation.

The Amy D. Foundation was created to honor the memory of American cyclocross racer Amy Dombroski, who was struck and killed by a vehicle during a training ride in Belgium in 2013.
