They were commissioned to create 50 one-of-a-kind Adidas to represent each of the 50 United States of America. Teen Voguesays the pizza pair was created by artist JEN MUSSARI to represent New Jersey. (What a surprise!) The shoes are painted yellow with red and white lines to represent the peppers and extra cheese on top of any respectable Garden State slice.
