Tom Sachs GPS back
Tom Sachs’ NikeCraft GPS in 'Summit White' is reportedly back on track for a 2026 release after a three‑year delay, and sneaker buzz got louder when Chase B was spotted with an early Off‑White Jordan 1 “Alaska,” stoking collaboration rumors (sneakerscartel.com) (hotnewhiphop.com).
Nike publicly cut ties with Tom Sachs in March 2023 after Curbed and follow‑up reporting detailed allegations of a toxic workplace and sexual harassment, prompting Nike to say it was “deeply concerned.” (sneakerfreaker.com) Nike and Sachs began re‑appearing together commercially in 2024–25, with Nike listed Tom Sachs drops including a Mars Yard 3.0 release on September 19, 2025 and a GPS “Studio” edition detailed in November 2025. (soleretriever.com) Nike’s own photo rollout for Tom Sachs’ General Purpose / GPS silhouettes surfaced across 2023–24, and current retail listings show the “Summit White” General Purpose shoe pegged at roughly $110 with availability showing at shops and marketplaces such as Solebox, BSTN, END and GOAT. (sneakerbardetroit.com) A Tom Sachs store pre‑order page for a NikeCraft participation shoe confirms payment processing and a Summer 2026 ship window for certain NikeCraft items, indicating Nike/Sachs product logistics are active through mid‑2026. (store.tomsachs.com) DJ Chase B posted an early on‑foot look of the Virgil Abloh Archive x Air Jordan 1 “Alaska,” showing the full special packaging and magazine, while DJ Khaled has also been photographed with advance pairs ahead of the planned early April 2026 drop. (hotnewhiphop.com) Retail calendars list the Virgil Abloh Archive (V.A.A.) x Air Jordan 1 “Alaska” for an April 3, 2026 street date at a $230 retail price, and imagery of the release highlights unique packaging with a clear inner case and a booklet stamped “MODERNISM IS NOT NEW.” (sneakernews.com) Photographs of the “Alaska” show “V.A.A. for Nike” medial branding on the AJ1, a visible shift from past Off‑White labelling that aligns the project to the Virgil Abloh Archive imprint rather than the original Off‑White tag.
