Check Out Tom Sachs’ Nike Mars Yard 3.0 Wear-Test Sample

by

As a seasoned gamer who has witnessed the rise and fall of countless collaborations between brands and artists, I must say, the Tom Sachs x Nike partnership is one that has always intrigued me. The suspense surrounding the Mars Yard 3.0 sneaker was palpable, and its temporary hiatus only fueled my anticipation.

Last year, Tom Sachs’ collaboration with Nike on their NikeCraft line was temporarily halted due to allegations of unsuitable conduct in his studio. This pause disrupted several joint footwear projects, such as the launch of a fresh Mars Yard 3.0 sneaker. However, once Sachs showed and reaffirmed his commitment to cultivating an environment that promotes respect and inclusivity, Nike decided to reunite with the artist for the unveiling of the Mars Yard 3.0 in 2025.

Before we even reach 2025, a preliminary glimpse at a prototype of the upcoming model has surfaced. Sporting the standard all-black colorway commonly used for wear-testing, it features no branding details. Similar to the Mars Yard 2.0 from 2017, many aspects remain consistent. Nevertheless, based on this initial sneak peek, there are several modifications worthy of mention. The toe cap has been subtly elevated with an additional layer of reinforcement, and the lacing system seems to be missing its lowest level compared to the original design.

1) Remember, these adjustments aren’t set in stone yet, so stay alert for future sneak peeks of the upcoming project over the next few months. Be on the lookout for news regarding the Mars Yard 3.0 by Tom Sachs and Nike, expected to hit shelves in 2025. Keep your eyes peeled!
