My Favorite Martian
In 2012 artist Tom Sachs took his unique brand of creativity to an interactive show in the Park Avenue Armory. If you are unfamiliar with knolling, please watch this 21 minute video before continuing. We will wait.
Tom Sach's Armory show was created entirely from typical household items and a strange Nike shoe - the Mars Yard Shoe.
Five years later, Nike worked with Tom to offer a unique experience based on training for the mission to outer space. That project included Mars Yard (US$4500 at Flight Club). The rerelease is as coveted as the original, so good luck grabbing either. While there are dozens of theories behind the resell value (limited run, original show, knolling), the price is the price.
If you want the ultimate in respect, then wear these and never acknowledge how you acquired them.
Simply smile and say, "Always be knolling."
