The Tom Sachs x Nike General Purpose Shoe returns
After the commotion surrounding designer Tom Sachs, who was in the news in early May 2023 due to worrisome working conditions in his workplace, Nike and Sachs seemed to part ways. Nike indicated it was discontinuing the collaboration, but now a new colorway of the Nike General Purpose Shoe (GPS), the 'Summit White', appears to be released.
Tom Sachs' General Purpose Shoe, introduced in 2022, went very fast since its first release. The trainer has a simple look and therein lies its strength. The timeless model comes with durable materials. The chunky outsole provides grip and gives the sneaker a more chunky look.
The trainer has already received several colorways, including the 'Field Brown', 'Dark Sulfur' and the 'Light Cream'. Now we see the first images of a new colorway; the 'Summit White'. The trainer seems to take inspiration from the previous colorways. A yellow Swoosh is placed on the centre panel.
The green details on the tongue and heel hint at an Oregon-inspired colorway, the place where Nike was founded. Nike branding appears on the tongue and heel. Whether this means Tom Sachs and Nike are working together again is still unknown. It seems that Nike is pursuing the trainer on its own. Keep an eye on the news page for updates.
The Tom Sachs x Nike General Purpose Shoe 'Summit White' does not yet have an official release date. However, we expect the trainer in October 2023. Keep an eye on the release calendar for updates.
The Tom Sachs x NikeCraft GPS gets a new colorway
The Tom Sachs x NikeCraft General Purpose Shoe (GPS) gets a new colorway. Introduced in June 2022 in a beige colorway, the sneaker has received several colorways since its release. Now, the model gets an additional white and yellow colorway. We can expect the sneaker in 2023.
The silhouette has a timeless design and comes with a special message. For instance, the design was not just put together, Sachs says: "It took a decade to make a shoe this simple, as simple as can be and no simpler. NikeCraft shuns innovation for its own sake, but embraces it as a necessity."
The model has a low fit and combines mesh, leather and suede materials, and the new variant comes in a white colorway. The upper is mesh and the overlays are synthetic materials and suede. The centre panel features the Swoosh, which colours yellow here. The pull tabs on the heel and tongue colour green and contrast nicely with the white upper.
The tongue features the Nike logo. The Nike logo also appears on the heel and is set in playful handwriting. The waffle pattern on the outsole gives the sneaker grip and is characteristic of the GPS model. The midsole colours off-white.
The new Tom Sachs x NikeCraft General Purpose Shoe (GPS) colourway does not yet have an official release date. However, we can expect the drop in 2023. Check out the official images below and keep an eye on our release calendar for the latest updates.
