After the success of the Mars Yard series, designer Tom Sachs and the NikeCraft label are back with a new venture. Previewed in early 2022, the Tom Sachs x NikeCraft General Purpose Shoe (GPS) debuted in June 2022. More colorways followed before the line was halted following allegations that put the collaboration on indefinite hold. The partnership resumed in September 2024, and a re-release of the original GPS marked the first footwear drop in years.
Labeled as a go-to sneaker for everything, the TS x NikeCraft GPS is designed to work with all activities in life. While the Mars Yard Collection was made for space, the GPS Collection is for Earth. Nicknamed The Studio edition, this pair draws inspiration from Sachs’ studio, where “the magic happens,” as they say.
