The Nike GPS or Nike General Purpose Shoe was designed by Tom Sachs also the designer of the mars yard and mars yard 2 both were designed to be a versatile sneaker that put function first and design second. The Tom sachs gps Tom sachs general purpose shoe was designed to be boring and a shoe anyone and everyone can get but it is all hype and marketing or is the Nike gps good?

yet most people cant even get a pair of these "boring nikes" without getting finessed by the resellers😓
@@Zapmannn DH gate😂
Agree. i can find some dunks on retail stores but havent seen these on displays
@@Zapmannn I got a pair from weidian for 35 dollars. Imagine actually spending 400 dollars on these🤣🤣
pairs are at kohls
I had no trouble getting a pair through the release and they’re restocking often
i just love how the idea of this shoe was to make it so everyone can get a pair, and yet nike STILL made a limited amount, and now they sell for like 600+ (aud) and only dropped them in certian countries haha, defeated the whole purpose of the damned thing
If I were Tom (I'm not sure how wealthy he really is) I would have kept all the ones that he got to sell on his own site, that he likely paid cost for in a warehouse somewhere, and then sold them at cost in a couple years. That would be a big FU to the collectors and price gougers.
@@mushieslushie lol he’s worth like 1.6 mill usd shah so he’s up there. He Deff did not pay for them 😂 as much as we would like to believe he’s a good guy in this, he’s just as bad as Nike lol
@@jordancornell9364 1.6mil is hardly ritch. I'm not sure what arrangement they made but I assumed it would be like any other store, and then he would basically get his cut even though they were sold though his own site. No idea though. Anyways i still think if he kept a decent number of them like I said it would be pretty funny.
@@mushieslushie compared to the average person working a job 1.6 is a fair bit of money lol, to my knowledge how it works with nike is he gets a cut regardless just based on his colabn name, but now nike own the shoe and cw 100% so even if they had a fight or whatever with him, they are alllowed to release them over again, hence how they do all the atmos drops and colabs for retros wiuthout the companies involved. for examplke the AM90 bacons, dave didnt even know they were being retroed at all lol
@@mushieslushie 1.6 net worth isn’t NOT rich either 😂
Yes, please send them to Trenton and Heath for a resole! I would love to see that.
Seconded!
I would watch that!
Love the Sulphur colorway and I’m so glad I got them for only slightly above retail. Happy to hear such an in depth and technical review about these and also really glad you like them!
Hopefully these will be way more comfy with the contours as AM1s make my arch and feet ache after just a few hours of wear. 😅
Thank you for keeping your videos honest and not bending for advertisers!
5:18 the spit & tears had me dying 🤣
Man I never thought I’d see him make this video. I got this shoe on the first release and took it with me on my trip to Europe and I was blown away by how well this shoe was crafted. This shoe is definitely worth picking up if you ever have the chance.
pat yourself on the back for being able to get a pair "worth picking up if you ever have the chance" sums it up right there
I want a pair too but only want the white pair and they’re sadly going for like $300 rn 👎
Love that these showed up in Kohls. Hope we get to see the re-sole video.
Your channel is so refreshing and brutally honest. Huge fan since your AF1 & J1 cutting video days. NB990v5 is one of my faves. NB 992 someday? Comfortable together with the Made in UK 577. More power to the channel!
I’m so glad you did a vid on these. I these these get my pick of sneaker of the year. Easily the best new model this year. It was awesome to see the contour in the midsole. I always felt like I sank down a bit in the heel and didn’t know why lol
Basically all sneakers are resoleable. While I appreciate big companies pushing repairability as a feature, there is nothing stopping people from having their cobbler put a fresh sole on their converse,vans,yeezys, keds, dunks, rick owens,etc. What would actually be cool is if they started providing original soles for use in repair. A lot of sneakerheads especially want to keep their shoes looking as original as possible, and providing the original materials could go a long way to encouraging resoling.
What's stopping people is that it wouldn't be worth the cost to put a fresh sole on a $50 pair of sneakers.
@@jakej722 Yeah absolutely! But there are plenty of sneakers that people pay way more for, whether its retail or resale, and I think it would be a more effective sustainability initiative to offer original materials for resoling than it is to make a one-off that isn't any more resolable than your average sneaker. Just my $0.02 though.
The upper needs to be durable enough to still have a decent amount of usable life left when the original sole wears out for a resole to be practical.
Not all cobblers can do this, in the UK I think you would struggle to find even one and if you did it would be stupidly expensive and not worth it.
@@ragetobe as a cobbler who does this every day, there is no reason a good cobbler couldn't do it. Many don't like to work with non-GYW stuff, but its not that hard.
Dude, you have come a long way in your videos. You are the freaking shoe KING now. You do such a great job at these shoe/boot reviews. I just love watching your content. Really quality stuff. And you seem like a really good person too. Keep the quality content coming my dude. I love it 😻
It's wild, I was just thinking, "wow, I'm surprised Weston hasn't made a video on the GPS", and lo and behold, not even a day later, here it is! Great review as always, can't wait to receive mine!
Hi I just found your channel and wanted to let you know that I really enjoy all the videos! Especially the historical ones really interest me as a historian
I appreciate you introducing us to the GPS, as I had no idea they even made them. Imagine my surprise of their “popularity” & Out of stock. 😅
Yes! I've been waiting for this video since the first drop! I LOVE mine.
I LOVE the Tom Sach's stuff, it's all just so unique and I love em, amazing video like always dude!
These are great. It's probably one of my favorite releases this year by nike. I was bummed out the first colorway release. However, the second colorway, I was able to walk into a kohls, try them on, and buy it. Great shoe to just beat up.
Kohls¿
I wanted these shoes badly, and failed to get them each time they were released, but after watching this I went ahead and got them second hand. Luckily this video did not skyrocket their market value. The arch support is unlike other Nikes. Thanks for this!
Yess!! I’ve been waiting for this one!!
I have the Archives and a pair of the Studios on the way since the latest drop. This was a great video, I have liked and Subbed to see what those cobblers have to add for this.
Been waiting for this one!
You’re the man for doing this!! So excited
Thank you for the thorough review. My wife and I have the brown GPS arriving soon.
Great video!! I have really been enjoying your content so much. Have you ever tested Goruck boots? I'd love to see how they stand up.
I can't wait to pick up a pair of fake Tom Sachs GPS for $32. I'll tune in for the comparo if you get your hands on some.
I’ve tried to wear Nike but usually they look cool but don’t function well. Brooks Beast is the most comfortable shoe I’ve ever owned. Makes all calf pain disappear.
Seeing this shoe’s construction reminds me of Nike ACG‘s shoes with „Trailframe“ like the ACG Lowcate. Firm but stable as hell and available to all of us.
I fell in love with old Polyeurathane midsoles recently so anything like that kind of cushioning I'm cool with.. compared to standard Eva more common these days
Lol the raindrop test editing 🤣
Saw your video, went on market place, picked up a pair. Thanks pal.
I don't usually fall for Special Release shoes, but being a fan of Tom, I was keen to try a pair. Unfortunately the damn shoes are sold out before I can capture a pair.
I'm kinda surprised he's so happy with the quality considering he already said it's bad leather with no grain
I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for the good work!🎉🎉😂😊
They should make a high cut version. If so, I would be tempted to get a pair myself. Too late, resellers were quick to snatch them up, going for $300. If lucky, they will be released in Canada in a year, or six months.
Got the Cream ones and the Yellow ones. I really love em. I am a sneakerhead who has all sorts of expensive pairs, but without a doubt these are my most worn pair of 2022
The value priced Waffle Debut seems to be nearly identical to this. I just bought a pair for $59. It's funny that Weston says they're more boot-like because i really can't stand most sneakers and wear boots instead. I put these on and immediately loved the feel and yes, they do feel like Blundstone.
I was hesitant about liking this shoe but after getting the RoseAnvil blessing I really want this shoe now
Thanks for the video
My Nike GPS - the Zegamas - brilliant from trails to the shops and even to church. ❤’em!
Funny, I'm wearing my pair today. Honestly, it's the Nike version of Rod Laver tennis shoes, but "resole-able". It's a shoe that's comfy, is easy to get looking crusty, and meant to look pretty good when it's crusty - just like Rod Lavers.
The original Mars Yards had single stitches securing the straps down. This was replaced with a box stitch in the 2.0 to fix this problem, and now it's found its way into the GPS!
Good to see that you just sawed through the best variant of the GPS
That was a thorough review. 👍
I like a lot of things about these shoes, but I don't like the blue tag and the black outsole. The outsole should be 100% beige, and the tag should just be the same as the most dominant shoe colour - in my opinion.
👟👌
I’d love to see this shoe resoled. Great call!
Ughhhh I forgot about it after it sold out but now I want it again 😫😫😫
FYI: on the UA-cam TV APP, the sound is off from the video. Just a heads up! Great video as always!
Just checked with the online sites that I frequent and most resellers have already boosted the price up to over 400 dollars. General purpose has become an irony of its own.
If you haven't already, I would love to see one of these videos about the Vans Goretex hightops that are marketed similarly to these
The pull tabs are one of toms features also used on his other sneakers / clothing (nasa inspired) reason why they’re good
You should check out Andrew Turriff - he's from the boot biz and is in the process of designing a "functional outdoor shoe" using high quality leathers, stitchdown construction and vibram soles! Similar vibes to this but absolutely no corners cut.
You should do a breakdown on the Nike ACG Lowcates! See how they compare. They are also marketed as a sort of sneaker boot. ACG stands for All Condition Gear and they are much easier to get a hold of than the GPs
God after seeing this I would want one. My favorite home and at around the house and dog walking is the og sock based Vans ultrarange and is my go to. But damn did the GPS sold out instantly... I'll have to keep an eye on it for next time for sure!
There are many options from Vibram that work for resole, Freestone, New York, Newporter, Zegama, Siera, New Boulder or even Arctic Grip Christy Flat.
Cool looking shoes - but even thinking about all the foam makes my feet sweat! All the graphics were fun!
Very cool. Look forward to the collab if it happens
Do the Nike ACG Lowcate next! I have a pair and love it so far. It seems like an alternative to the general purpose shoe and I like it for cold weather and commuting in the city. There's a "trailframe" in it, and I wonder how it you will like it compared to the GPS.
Lowcate‘s really have an amazing fit and stable built. Love em too.
Great video man! I love mine too!
After Googling I see there is a rare brown color way of this shoe! That looks way better imo. It's like a "hiking shoe" 🤤 Welp, here's another addition to my wishlist. 💸
Copped the poop browns and they are honestly my fav shoes rn. I can literally wear them for any occasion and get compliments on them all the time
I was able to get a pair of the new brown colorway that released on Tom Sachs website on the 6th. Anxious to see how they wear.
The video is missing the audio segment about sponsor pulling out. On UA-cam mobile app it works fine but the sponsor info is missing. On TV app the sponsor info is present at the start of the video but audio is out of sync with the video.
This!!
Well done on not compromising. 👍👍
This is the only Nike I could possibly see myself using. My normal shoes are either Redwing work boots (Vibram lugged soles), hunting boots, or retired trail running shoes. I don't really have anything else.
same, and because of that i just bought the new brown ones. hope they are good
like the brown too, they are not that flashy and ill walk in dirt and mud with them anyways, so less cleaning for me lol
Classic sole from 80 &90 Nike's shoes, I love it.
Great break down RA.
The soles come off easy BUT even easier to glue back up.
Why send it to landfill just because it is using an eco glue?
"The really heavy wear portions, at least from where I've been wearing them" fun sentence
hi Weston! Thank you very much for (another) interesting and informative video. I have been watching your stuff with pleasure as they are informative and very interesting for consumers.
I wanted to ask if you could do a video on the latest Birkenstock boot - Birmingham. As it seems quite well and is hopefully properly made, however rather on the expensive side. In one of your videos you talked about Birkenstock cheating and selling boots for much more than they are really worth I wanted to get your opinion on the Birminghams.
Can you do the a ma maniere Jordan 4s? Please? The material is so crazy and I would love to see your analysis on it. Love the videos.
Just ordered a pair in the new brown color way can't wait to get em on feet
I wish these came in a wide. They look like theyd be really comfy and would be pretty durable. Have you talked to whites about their new Fulton boot? Its an 8" moc toe with a vibram unit lug sole.
It's same boot as 8" Perry that he reviewed, with lug sole instead of wedge sole
Many folks work in factories on concrete and I think this could be the shoe for them as many don't like boots. But they would probably need to be leather ( Resoling is great but will material uppers last long enough to make resoling realistic.? . I think leather would. ) and probably a protective toe cap. Yes.. I like the arch support too and with Zero heel... even better. The wedge design especially on runners squish my toes... a feature I wish makers would drop.
Interesting combination of a hiking boot sole and mesh upper 🤔. I wonder what kind of weather or climate are those intended for
Nike does not have to make money on colabs. They Treat colabs as loss leaders to build hype. Also there will be more color ways available in 2023, so the secondary prices will probably not go up.
I got emailed 3 hours after the first release for my W for these. Needless to say I had left for work by then. Anyway I would LOVE if you could do a review on the sneakersnstuff x Jordan 1 Mid. I swear the leather on these is insane, best I've seen, and they're cheap.
I love these videos ..
Could you do a fear of god suede Chelsea Boot?
I have the yellow pair, I’ve only worn them 4 times but I really like this shoe.
Hopefully I can get the white pair on. Restock.
I also own a pair but let me just say these soles are not soft but I enjoy beating on them. I honestly really love that they got a second batch released at kohls hurting the possibility for resellers netting some type of profit. Hopefully that meant more people got them to enjoy the shoe!
Thank god in my country theres a trift store but its all shoes you could find timbs , air jordans, vans, converses good stuff if you're lucky for around $23 a pair
I genuinely love these, I want a pair for spring but I'm not paying three hundred fucking dollars for a pair. I hate sneaker head culture so much.
I would love to see you breakdown the Fear Of God Nike shoes! I own a pair and really want to know exactly what I’m wearing
Man i miss the Nikes from the 80s the waffle tread trainers, id run miles n miles in em great shoe...
The TPU coating does not add much mechanical durability, yet it extends the lifetime of the upper a lot. The first 0.5-1 inches of the upper, contiguous to the outsole, faces debris first, as well as it soaks dust and sand particles form the ground. Especially a mesh/fabrics upper. The sand is abrasive so it gnaws the material apart. That's why I do not buy completely mesh shoes without a stripe of leather along the bottom. Otherwise I get a through hole in 2 months. The TPU layer prevents that. Mesh running shoes protected with a bottom stripe of TPU last much longer.
I like this vid. Good insight.
Great and enjoyable video. I fail to see the purpose of a bottom that can be resoled while the upper itself is not really that durable. Expensive for what it is, too.
Watching somebody cut a shoe I've been looking for since laugh in half is somthing I'll never emotionally recover from
What do you do with the cross-sectioned shoe? I’d love to purchase a half or both for display if I could.
They extremely expensive. Like for rich people only.
Reminded me of Puma GV/California casual shoes and those are on the opposite end, like super affordable.
T&H are excellent cobblers and amazing dudes! I'd love to see that collab!
I loved the show and watched it within my childhood and gave me perspective on my parents.
You should look into the Norda one running shoe.
Yo Mr. Anvil!! You should cut up and review Canada west boots!!! The moorby heritage line. Essentially the canadian red wing equivalent.
It reminds me of the New Balance that I have. The sole logs are almost exactly the same in appearance. Does this mean Nike ripped on New Balance ?
It sure would be cool if these things could be bought...
I'm interested in these but, after looking online at their availability and seeing the scalper prices, I'm not going to hold my breath. I would *love* to be proven wrong and see a) these readily available at or around MSRP and b) scalpers choke on a garage full of inventory.
Please check out the Nike presto utility, and do a deep dive on them. They are one of my favorite sneakers
Could you cut open a SBD power lifting belt it’s a belt that’s highly loved for it’s leather quality in the weight lifting community and I feel like a lot of people would love to see the quality and what the inside of the belt may look like and what the quality is really like
Tom Sachs X Gore-tex GPS would be ideal for this concept. The style of the GPS and durability of a Gore-Tex weatherproof shoe.
Nice quality sole..those look interesting
I have a pair of the Studio Colorway. I love them. And I agree with pretty much everything that you said about these shoes..
The only thing that I would change about these shoes is the heel area. I would prefer a heal more like on the Nike Internationalist, or the Waffle One's. A heel that really locks your heel in, one that doesn't give you the heel slippage that these shoes do...
