A Brief History of the Mars Yard | Nike

The Mars Yard sneaker by Tom Sachs and Nike is one of the most converted sneakers in sneaker culture. American artist Tom Sachs gives an insight into hi 20 year partnership with Nike.

"The values of NikeCraft haven’t changed at all, but they have been refined over the past 20 years,” says Sachs. “From the very beginning, I viewed NikeCraft as an art project: a place where the values of my studio could reach a larger audience through the sculpture known as the shoe. These two decades are a reminder that art is in everything — and is showcased through the Mars Yard in the ultimate art gallery of street fashion.”
