NikeCraft General Purpose Shoe Tom Sachs

After a brief hiatus following the renowned Mars Yard series, Nike and Tom Sachs joined forces once again in 2022 for the NikeCraft General Purpose Shoe. The NikeCraft General Purpose Shoe (GPS) is a minimalist, do-everything shoe that will thrive in any possible scenario thrown your way. In a clean styling, the GPS boasts a three-piece molded cup sole, suede mudguards, microfiber collar, and an ultra-breathable knit that is open enough to breathe but tight enough to fend off rain and snow. Touching on Sachs' previous designs, a waffle tread outsole similar to that of the first Nike Moon Shoe and a tongue with exposed foam edges adds a vintage appeal. The NikeCraft General Purpose Shoe released in June of 2022 and retailed for $110. As its moniker suggests, the Tom Sachs x NikeCraft General Purpose Shoe ‘Studio’ showcases a design rooted in everyday wear — a marked departure from the creative partners’ Mars Yard project, which was presented as a sneaker built for space-traveling scientists. The understated GPS sports an off-white knit upper with a printed white Swoosh and tonal suede overlays at the forefoot and heel. A pair of oversized pull tabs in royal blue offer contrasting bursts of color. The sneaker rests on a three-piece molded cupsole, featuring gum rubber sidewalls, a cushioned EVA core, and a durable waffle-traction rubber outsole.
