Adidas called on 12 female artists to commission a special edition of its Ultraboost X sneaker for each of the 50 states in America. Each shoe will be sold in an auction today, July 11, with the proceeds going to Women Win, a charity that describes itself as “the global leader in girls’ empowerment through sport.”

That thing is LOUD.
