FAQs

What is the primary material of the Nike Field General 82?

The upper is primarily made from textured suede, providing a premium feel and vintage aesthetic.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities like running or training?

No, despite their origins, the Nike Field General 82 is designed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker and is not recommended for performance sports or intense athletic activities.

How do I clean the suede on my sneakers?

Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt and an eraser for tougher marks. For liquid stains, blot immediately. Consider a specialized suede cleaner for deeper cleaning, always testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Can I wear these sneakers in the rain?

It is not recommended to wear suede sneakers in heavy rain or wet conditions, as water can cause staining, damage, and alter the texture of the suede. Consider using a suede protector spray for light moisture resistance.

What does 'Waffle sole' mean?

The Waffle sole refers to the outsole's distinctive raised pattern, inspired by Bill Bowerman's innovation using a waffle iron. It's known for providing excellent traction and a classic Nike heritage look.

What size are these sneakers?

This specific variant is a UK 9, designed for adult males.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper grime, use a suede cleaning eraser or liquid cleaner following product instructions.

Water spots or stains on the suede.

Allow the sneakers to dry completely. Once dry, gently brush the affected area with a suede brush. For persistent spots, consider a suede stain remover, testing on a hidden area first.

Waffle sole losing its grip.

Clean the Waffle sole thoroughly with warm water and mild soap (like dish soap) using a stiff brush to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be reducing traction.

Squeaking sound when walking.

Often caused by insoles rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insoles, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside, then reinserting them. Alternatively, try different insoles.

  2. Regular Cleaning:
  • Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
  • For tougher dirt, use an eraser specifically designed for suede to lift marks.
  1. Stain Removal:
  • For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth (do not rub).
  • For dried stains, use a suede cleaner product following the manufacturer's instructions. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
  1. Avoid Water Saturation: Suede is not waterproof. Avoid wearing these sneakers in heavy rain or wet conditions, as water can stain and stiffen the material.

  3. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and sunlight.
