Nike and Tom Sachs are long-time partners and the duo's iconic General Purpose shoe gets a new colorway palette that is set to join the roster. There are three colorways in total and including white and black, white and red, and grey. The new construction of the shoe blends together both mesh and suede materials, with mesh making up the base foundation and overlaying with suede on top.
The low-top silhouette has a blend of light cream, white, and light bone to join the range. Additionally, there are details including the pull tabs at the back of the shoe, "NIKE" branding debossed at the back of the shoe, and Tom Sachs branding at the tongue tags and printed insole foundation. It sits on top of a thick midsole foundation and has contrasting waffle treaded rubber outsoles.
