Nike Mars Yard Tom Sachs and Tom Sachs x NikeCraft Mars Yard Crib

The Nike Mars Yard Tom Sachs (I) is a popular shoe by Nike released in collaboration with contemporary artist Tom Sachs. It is a unique model that draws inspiration from Sachs' artistic vision and his fascination with space exploration. The shoe’s upper is constructed using a combination of mesh and suede, with a white mesh base and brown suede overlays, complemented by a bright red Swoosh running across both sides. Some of the unique design elements on this shoe include the strap that replaces the traditional lacing system, and a heel pull tab to help with easier wearing and removal. What our experts love most about the Nike Mars Yard Tom Sachs (I) is its outsole, which boasts a unique protruding pattern, designed to mimic the rough terrain on Mars. This makes the shoe not only aesthetically pleasing, but also functional on different terrains. The infant sized shoe was first released for retail on October 9th, 2019, priced at $55. The Tom Sachs x NikeCraft Mars Yard Crib shoe dropped in October 2019 as a pint-sized take on the pair's collaboration from 2017. Much like the Mars Yard 2.0, this sneaker features a warp-knit tricot mesh upper in white with tan panels to stabilize. Red pull tabs make it easier to put on—a function prioritized by Sachs, whose own son was small at the time of the release. The shoe's white sole creeps up the toe for extra coverage. Each pair was originally sold in a special box with Tom Sachs branding.
