Inspired by Sach interactions with NASA scientists, the design features an Off-White mesh upper with maple colored nubuck panels, a Sport Red Swoosh, and red pull tabs on the heel and tongue. The shoe also comes with two insoles made of mesh and cord, with the latter geared towards sockless wear.<\/p>\n
Tom Sachs is a master of reinterpreting Americana and refracting it through the prisms of sculpture, irony and humor. So when it came time for Sachs to release the second iteration of his beloved\u00a0NikeCraft Mars Yard\u00a0shoe, naturally Sachs offered his own interpretation of Space Camp. The elaborate Space Camp installation that Sachs has set up on Governor\u2019s Island is proof positive of this: far from a run-of-the-mill pop-up, Sachs has built a full complex, including an obstacle course, shooting gallery, coffee-shop and sculpture studio. Aspiring space cadets must complete Sachs\u2019 challenges to earn a chance for a pair of Sachs\u2019 coveted NikeCraft Mars Yard 2.0.<\/p>\n
Speaking over the din of rotary saws and heavy machinery, Nate Jobe, Senior Design Director in Nike\u2019s Footwear Innovation department, that Sachs\u2019 decade-long relationship with Nike is a continuous conversation. \u201cWe had lunch once, and he gave us very<\/em>\u00a0comprehensive feedback,\u201d including a comprehensive report of field-tests, trials that included \u201cskateboarding, cycling, daily studio wear.\u201d Sachs himself claims to have worn the the shoes practically everyday since the first NikeCraft drop five years ago.<\/p>\n Much like life, there are always two ways to go through Space Camp: the easy way or the hard way. After being briefed, attendees were told \u201cyou can choose the difficult path ahead or be a pussy and choose the easy path and walk around the party.\u201d Cadets can either climb up a rope, using their legs as a supportive lever, or climb a step-ladder; there were two RC helicopter challenges; push-ups can be modified by adding an incline, etc. but must be completed until failure.<\/p>\n Much like friend and collaborator Frank Ocean \u2014 more on him later \u2014 Sachs has two versions of his Nikes. Jobe spoke on the differences between the shoe\u2019s first and second iterations. In their daily trials, Sachs and his team found what they called an \u201cunknown unknown: despite Vectran \u2014 a JPL-developed material used in the first sneaker \u2014 being \u201cstronger than steel\u201d according to Sachs, it has a breaking point. \u201cIf you folded the sneakers more than twenty times, it snapped like a paper-clip.\u201d The 2.0 subs Vectran out for a mesh and polyfiber lining that gives the sneaker a metallic sheen. According to Jobe, Sachs\u2019 studio team also specifically requested a cork insole to facilitate barefoot wear.<\/p>\n about Returns Policy<\/strong><\/p>\n If you are not satisfied with your purchase, you may exchange or return it for a refund within 30 days from shipping from our warehouse<\/p>\n For any further question, please feel free to contact Solesnk.com customers service.<\/strong><\/p>\n Email : sale@www.geriderklostertaler.at<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Inspired by Sach interactions with NASA scientists, the design features an Off-White mesh upper with maple colored nubuck panels, a Sport Red Swoosh, and red pull tabs on the heel and tongue.
