For artist Tom Sachs, the perfect sneaker is a tool that supports your work without overshadowing it. This philosophy is perfectly embodied in the NikeCraft General Purpose Shoe (GPS), the official uniform footwear for the Tom Sachs Studio team that is now available to a wider audience. After a decade of development, the GPS arrives in an exclusive Studio colorway, adhering to the principle of “as simple as can be and no simpler.”
The design is rooted in the NikeCraft ethos, which prioritizes durability over innovation for its own sake, supporting a life of activity and telling the wearer’s story. Its construction features an open yet tight durable knitted upper designed to balance breathability and protection from light rain. The foundation is a robust 3-piece molded cup sole, which incorporates a durable rubber outsole, a soft gum rubber midsole, and an EVA foam core for comfort and support.
Thoughtful details like the blue nylon herringbone donning straps and the debossed “NIKE” logo on the heel in Sachs’ own handwriting emphasize its bespoke nature. Manufactured to the exacting specifications of champion athletes, the GPS aims to fulfill its intended purpose while remaining hard-wearing, underscoring the brand’s commitment to quality before the need for reuse or recycling. The GPS is a simple, high-quality essential, ready to be a part of your daily uniform.
