New York City-based contemporary artist Tom Sachs will continue his collaboration with Nike as the duo is set to re-release a General Purpose shoe in the "Game Royal" colorway, the first version of which was first released in June 2022.
Tom Sachs is known for building a lot of traction around his designs, be it in the realm of footwear, fashion, or art, particularly when it comes to his recent collaborations with Nike.
According to media outlet Sole Retriever, the re-launch of Tom Sachs x NikeCraft General Purpose "Game Royal" shoe is slated for December 2, 2022, on Tom Sachs' official site.
Tom Sachs x NikeCraft General Purpose "Game Royal" shoe will be offered at a price of $109.99
Originally, Nike and Tom Sachs designed the NikeCraft shoe concept for scientists going into space. One of the most popular products from the NikeCraft project is the General Purpose shoe, which was based on the idea of designing a shoe for everyday use.
In an official press release, Sachs commented on the beginning of his relationship with Nike:
“I got involved with Nike in the beginning because we wanted to make a sculpture that everyone could wear. It’s a tool for everyday life; it's democratic. 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 General Purpose shoe comes in a distinct shape as it features an upturned toe. The cup sole of the shoe is a three-piece mold with the signature microfiber collar, donning straps, and ultra-breathable knit upper.
The General Purpose shoe was created to provide extra comfort, support, and tactile sensation, offered at a reasonable price. Nike's site introduces the silhouette:
“Your sneakers shouldn't be the most exciting thing about you. They are tools, and what matters about your tools is that they work. They do their job so you can do yours. You put them on and forget about them. You focus on getting a little bit faster, a little bit sharper, on finding the signal in the noise.”
The upper of the shoe is made of breathable material with durability, and is clad in a 'Light Cream / White / Light Bone / Game Royal' color scheme. The shoe features a muted white upper with gum rubber midsoles and game royal blue wearing straps to add a touch of vibrance.
The shoe features woven branding over the sneaker's lightening-holed cushioned tongues with a heat-sealed edge, and is also accompanied by a custom shoebox.
Originally, the shoe was released on June 10, 2022, and then restocked on August 5, 2022. This marks the sneakers' third release, which is set for December 2, 2022, at a retail price of $109.99.
