"The Pie Tops are Bluetooth-enabled 'smart' sneakers that can instantly submit a pizza order via a button on the tongue; the 2018 Pie Tops II return as a super-limited run of 50 pairs in two colorways—marinara-red and pizza crust–tan—with 'cheese grater mesh' detailing and branded laces. Beyond ordering, the new left-shoe button can pause live TV by linking the shoe to the wearer’s cable provider, letting you 'call your own timeout' to retrieve the pizza during March Madness. The shoes pair with a phone and build on last year's novelty by adding the TV-pause feature to address the timing dilemma of deliveries arriving in the closing seconds of a game." - Clint Rainey
