Product Information

Full details

The Nike Field General 82 Sneaker is for adults seeking a blend of classic athletic heritage and modern street style. Its key advantage lies in its versatile design, allowing a seamless transition from a vintage field-inspired look to comfortable everyday wear, complete with superior grip. However, as a reissued classic, it's primarily designed for casual use rather than intense athletic performance, and its premium leather and velvet materials require mindful care to maintain their appearance.

FAQs

What materials are these Nike Field General 82 sneakers made from?

The upper part of these sneakers is primarily crafted from durable leather, complemented by soft velvet overlays for a unique textural contrast. The sole is made from a robust, lugged rubber.

Are these sneakers suitable for sports or athletic activities?

While the original Nike Field General was a football shoe, this reissued Field General 82 is designed and optimized for casual everyday wear and street style. It is not intended for high-performance sports or intense athletic activities.

How do I determine the correct size for these sneakers?

These sneakers are listed in UK sizing (UK 8.5 for this variant). We recommend consulting Nike's official sizing guide for accurate measurements or, if possible, trying them on to ensure the best and most comfortable fit.

Can I wear these Nike Field General 82 sneakers in wet weather?

The leather and velvet materials are not inherently waterproof. While they can withstand light moisture, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or very wet conditions should be avoided to protect the materials from potential damage. Applying a water-repellent spray designed for leather and fabric can offer additional protection.

What is the primary benefit of the lugged rubber outsole?

The unique lugged rubber outsole is designed to provide superior grip and traction. This feature ensures stable and confident footing on various urban surfaces, from city sidewalks to light pathways, enhancing safety and comfort.

Is this a new design or a re-release of an older model?

The Nike Field General 82 is a faithful reissued classic. It retains the original design from its debut in 1982, when it was initially launched as an American football shoe, now updated for contemporary street wear.

How do I specifically care for the velvet portions of the sneaker?

To care for the velvet, gently brush off any dust or loose dirt with a soft-bristled brush in the direction of the nap. For minor stains, lightly dab the area with a cloth dampened with a very mild soap solution, being careful not to rub vigorously. Always allow the velvet to air dry naturally.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur with new soles due to friction. Try applying a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole to reduce friction, or simply allow time for the sole to break in naturally with wear.

Scuffs or minor marks on leather surfaces

Use a specialized leather cleaner or conditioner applied with a soft cloth to gently buff out marks. For deeper scuffs, a leather balm or polish matching the shoe's brown color may help to conceal them.

Velvet overlays appear matted or dirty

Gently brush the velvet with a soft-bristled brush (e.g., a suede brush or clean toothbrush) in one direction to restore its texture. For dirt, lightly dab with a damp cloth; avoid rubbing vigorously, which can damage the nap.

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially

Like many premium leather shoes, these may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially, allowing the materials to soften and conform to the unique shape of your foot for improved comfort.

  • Sizing: This particular model is a UK size 8.5, designed for adults. Ensure you are familiar with Nike's sizing for the best fit.

Care Instructions

Maintaining the premium leather and velvet overlays is key to preserving the aesthetic and lifespan of your Nike Field General 82 sneakers.

  1. Cleaning Leather: Gently wipe the leather surfaces with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust. For more stubborn grime or stains, use a specialized leather cleaner designed for athletic footwear, following the product's instructions. Finish with a leather conditioner to keep the material supple.
  2. Cleaning Velvet Overlays: Use a soft-bristled brush (like a suede brush or a clean toothbrush) to gently brush off dry dirt and dust in one direction. For minor stains, dab the area with a cloth slightly dampened with water and a very mild soap solution; avoid rubbing vigorously to prevent matting the velvet. Blot dry immediately.
  3. Drying: Always allow your sneakers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can cause the leather to crack or fade and the velvet to damage.
  4. Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for leather and fabric. This can provide an extra layer of protection against the elements and spills, especially beneficial for the velvet.
  5. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
