Back in 2007, I posted about sculptor Tom Sachs’s recreation/reimagination of the moon landing in a Beverly Hills gallery. He’s now created a line of space mission-inspired gear for Nike. For example, the Mars Yard Shoe includes vectran fabric used in the Mars Excursion Rover and style details from the Apollo lunar overshoes. The Tom Sachs/NIKECraft launch was timed with his new huge installation at NYC’s Park Avenue Armory, titled “Space Program: Mars.”
