The cooperation between Tom Sachs started in 2012 with the release of Nikecraft Mars Yard 1.0 followed after a total of five years the 2.0. The artist Tom Sachs released a sneaker who was inspired by Sachs' interactions with the highly specialized scientists of NASA, the idea behind it is to develop a shoe for everyday life that defies every terrain and weather. Explained in an interview Tom Sachsthat the first sneaker passed the abrasion test, strength test and the fall test. In retrospect, he added that the sneaker did not meet the team's expectations for a long time, since you only notice after wearing for a long time what still needs to be changed on the shoe. With the 2.0, some materials were exchanged and this process took five years because you had to use the sneaker every day to get enough information.
How is the sneaker built?
At the moment there are no details on the inspiration of the TOM SACHS X NIKECRAFT General Purpose Shoe However, we assume that the Nike Killshot was taken as a base. The Sail Color Mesh Upper was with a gray suede at the front end of the Sneakers installed. The blue sweats on the tongue and heel of the sneaker give the necessary contrast. With a Nike shoe, of course, no one is allowed Swoosh missing, which from the inside to the outer tear of theTom Sachs X Nikecraft General Purpose Shoe pulls in white color. The Nike Logo was incorporated into Tom Sachs handwriting on the heel. Another detail can be found on the tongue, whereupon a white day with black Nike Lettering and an orange swoosh was embroidered. The brown rubber sole with black undersole results in a perfect contrast to the otherwise very bright colors in the sneaker.

Opinion of Tom Sachs X Nikecraft General Purpose Shoe
I've been in love with the concept behind the sneaker since Mars Yard 1.0. It should just be one Everyday shoe be that you can really wear over several years. The materials are great and the colors are simply and timeless, so that you can still wear it in five or ten years! Tom Sachs himself said that the Tom Sachs X Nikecraft General Purpose Shoe It is not the most exciting thing, he sees the sneaker more as a tool that should do their job and therefore kept it as minimalistic as possible. As a big fan, of course, I hope to get the shoe for retail and to be advised as it is intended, but after the last releases I expect that theTom Sachs X Nikecraft General Purpose Shoe Follow out quickly out and you have to do a lot in the resell. Nevertheless, I'm a big fan and hope everyone who feels him can get you!
