The Adidas x Refinery29 UltraBOOST X collaboration is part of an initiative to bring art and sports together.
All 50 pairs of shoes were hand-painted by the artists, with each design representing one of the 50 US states.
According to Adidas, all 50 sneakers will be sold through a silent auction, and the proceeds will be donated to Women Win, a global leader in girls’ empowerment through sports.
One of the more popular silhouettes, Pennsylvania, has a current bid of US$500 (approx. S$691). It draws inspiration from the state’s historical icons and nature elements.
Other quirky designs include a pizza-themed sneaker (New Jersey), a checkered model inspired by the Indy500 (Indiana), and a model with cut-out horse motifs (North Dakota).
Unfortunately, this custom collection is only open to US residents. You can, however, check out the rest of the designs here.
