SneakersNIKE X TOM SACHS “GENERAL PURPOSE SHOE” - REGISTER NOW
6 September 2022Nike and Tom Sachs’ General Purpose Shoe is a stripped-back, durable sneaker geared for everyday wear.
2022 marks ten years of NikeCraft: Nike and Tom Sachs’ partnership which exists in a perpetual state of research, refinement and innovation. Their latest creation is an exploration into the everyday, culminating in a shoe reflective of the humility of everyday work — zero frills, hardworking and understated.
That sneaker is the GPS, standing for General Purpose Shoe: a statement of intent that captures the essence of what the shoe is all about, representing a movement away from exclusivity and hype to accessible, wearable footwear. The latest iteration, dubbed “Archive” yellow, is the perfect embodiment of Tom Sachs’ sensibility. The sneaker is stripped back to the basics, featuring a classic aesthetic — nodding to archival classics like the Killshot — and a durable mesh and suede construction.
