The role of artist too makes us see thru something we can never experience firsthand & who else can do this better than the man himself Tom Sachs.

Tom is not only an artist but he’s also Part of NASA program, the man has unbelievable 40 Pages of resume and we all know artis like him doesn’t keep anything to himself he devoted his all his years of craftsman for the act of service, he taught us the right to repair rather than replace. But,

“With this particular challenge, we are engaging people to really think about this shoe and bring different perspectives, both culturally and environmentally,” says Sachs.

“This is an opportunity to invite a larger audience to really indulge in our favorite part of the process — learning about things and making stuff. The process is the most valuable thing, and if the result is a great pair of shoes, that’s fantastic. But I think it's really important that the testing process celebrates the journey.”

Beyond the Mars Yard 2.5 Wear Test, NIKECRAFT will also support research in the proper care of footwear, underscoring an important facet of sustainability — maintaining the objects one already owns, and wearing them to death.
