Nike and Tom Sachs' General Purpose Shoe is boring — and that’s the point

Nike and Tom Sachs are ready to reveal their most boring sneaker yet — and it already has everyone on the edge of their seats. The sportswear giant and the New York City-based artist have teamed up on the General Purpose Shoe, or GPS, a brand-new silhouette that’s intentionally underwhelming.

The sneaker, which pales in comparison to other extravagant NikeCraft-Sachs creations, puts an emphasis on getting use out of your sneakers instead of letting them collect dust. As the name suggests, it’s meant to work for every possible scenario (athletic or otherwise), pushing a reminder that it’s not what you do, but how you do it.
