NikeCraft is reintroducing a beloved classic with the launch of the Mars Yard 3.0, marking the first refresh of this silhouette since 2017. Designed by artist Tom Sachs, this new iteration of the aerospace-inspired sneaker continues the brand's journey into functionality, creativity, and community engagement through sport and self-discipline. Crafted for what Sachs refers to as the “sport of sculpture,” the Mars Yard 3.0 is tailored for everyday use, seamlessly blending technical innovation with a strong conceptual foundation. While the design may initially feel familiar, Sachs emphasizes that every aspect—from the tooling to the packaging—has been thoughtfully reimagined.
The Mars Yard 3.0 stays true to Tom Sachs’s vision of functional sculpture — a tool meant to be used, not just admired. The tech upgrades (React midsole, carbon plate) and tougher build make it the most rugged version yet. But it’s also the most demanding release: expect a real test of dedication just to earn a chance, We have seen the 2012, 2017 & 2020 versions in store & can’t wait to see the September Release!
