About the release
Tom Sachs and Nike are back with a new colourway of the NikeCraft General Purpose Shoe, this time titled 'Bricolage'. The name is not decorative. Bricolage is the French concept of creating something from whatever is at hand, and every detail on this shoe reflects exactly that. The sole exists because someone put a waffle iron to rubber. The Pine Green pull straps are cut down from automotive seat belts. The upper is knitted with knots, not woven, referencing the techniques explorers used to navigate the world.
Style code DA6672-100 releases in the UK on 14 April 2026 at 8:00 AM for £99.99. It is a women's release, available via Nike and select retailers. A wider SNKRS drop follows on 20 April for the US market.

Release date and price
The UK release is 14 April 2026 at 8:00 AM via Nike and select retailers. The shoe first dropped via Tom Sachs' own store on 8 April in the US, with the wider SNKRS and retail release following on 20 April for US buyers.
UK retail is £99.99. At that price it remains one of the more accessible NikeCraft releases, which has always been part of the GPS's appeal. The shoe is designed to be worn, not shelved.
Design and details
The upper is built from a durable knitted material, constructed with knots rather than woven. It is open enough to breathe and tight enough to keep out light rain. A premium microfibre collar wraps the ankle, and the Pine Green nylon herringbone donning straps are cut directly from high-performance automotive seat belts, repurposed into the shoe's pull tabs.
The 3-piece moulded cup sole runs a durable rubber outsole, soft gum rubber midsole and EVA foam core. The waffle pattern on the outsole is not just aesthetic, it is a direct reference to the origin of the running shoe, when Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman pressed rubber into a waffle iron to create traction.
At the heel, the NIKE logo is debossed in Tom Sachs' own handwriting, one of the most consistently recognisable details across the GPS line. The Light Cream base with Pine Green accents keeps the colourway deliberately understated, which is exactly the point.
The Bricolage concept
Bricolage is the practice of building something new from materials already available rather than purpose-designed components. It has been central to Tom Sachs' studio work for decades, where everyday objects and found materials are transformed into art with real meaning. Applied to a sneaker, it means every detail has a reference point that exists outside the shoe itself. The waffle sole references Bill Bowerman's kitchen experiment. The seat belt straps reference automotive engineering. The knotted upper references the knot-tying techniques of explorers. Nothing is arbitrary and nothing is purely decorative.

NikeCraft and Tom Sachs
Tom Sachs is a New York-based artist whose studio practice is rooted in handmade construction, repurposed materials and obsessive attention to function. His Nike collaboration started over a decade ago and has produced some of the most culturally significant sneaker releases in that time, most notably the Mars Yard series.
The General Purpose Shoe was first introduced as a deliberate counter to hype culture. Nike advertised it in the New York Times under the headline "Boring", with copy stating that your sneakers should not be the most exciting thing about you. The GPS is meant to be used, worn out and replaced when necessary. The 'Bricolage' colourway stays true to that brief while adding a layer of conceptual storytelling that rewards people who look a little closer.
Why this release matters
Every NikeCraft GPS release carries the same core message, but each colourway and edition finds a new angle to tell it from. 'Bricolage' is one of the more considered versions of that approach, with a concept that runs through every material choice rather than just sitting in the colourway name.
At under £100, it also remains one of the few NikeCraft releases accessible enough to actually wear. The GPS was designed to be sat by the door and picked up whenever you need it. The 'Bricolage' edition is exactly that kind of shoe.
