FAQs

Are these sneakers suitable for playing sports?

No, while the Nike Field General 82 has roots in American football, this reissued version is designed and optimized for casual, everyday street wear rather than high-performance sports.

How do I clean the suede material?

Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, a suede eraser or a suede cleaning kit is recommended. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.

Are the Nike Field General 82 sneakers waterproof?

No, the suede upper is not waterproof. We recommend applying a high-quality suede protector spray to help repel water and stains, but avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.

What is the primary material used in the upper?

The upper features a combination of textile and premium suede, giving the sneaker its distinctive look and feel.

Do these sneakers run true to size?

Generally, Nike sneakers run true to size. However, fit can be subjective. It's best to refer to Nike's official size chart or try them on to ensure the most comfortable fit for your foot.

Can these be worn by men, even though this variant is listed as 'Female'?

While this specific SKU is listed under 'Female' attributes, the Nike Field General 82's overall style is often considered unisex. Men can certainly wear them, but should carefully check the UK sizing conversion to their preferred men's size for an accurate fit.

What kind of traction does the sole provide?

The sneaker features a lugged rubber outsole originally designed for grip on turf. This design provides excellent traction and stability on various urban and casual surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently buff the surface and restore the nap. For tougher dirt, a suede eraser can help lift marks.

Water stains on the suede.

Allow the sneakers to dry completely. Then, lightly dampen the entire affected area with clean water using a clean cloth, and gently brush with a suede brush. This helps to evenly distribute the moisture and prevent water marks. For severe stains, professional cleaning is recommended.

Poor traction in wet conditions.

While the lugged outsole provides good grip, no sole is infallible on all wet surfaces. Exercise caution on wet, smooth, or icy ground. Ensure the sole is clean of debris that could reduce grip.

Laces fraying or coming undone frequently.

Replace worn laces with new, durable ones. Ensure you are tying them securely, perhaps using a double knot for added security. Check the eyelets for any sharp edges that might be causing wear.

Uncomfortable fit or rubbing.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, consider wearing them for shorter periods initially to allow for a break-in period. If the size feels off, consult a Nike sizing guide for comparison.

Care Instructions

Proper care for your suede sneakers will maintain their appearance and longevity:

  1. Initial Protection: Before first wear, apply a suede protector spray to guard against water and stains. Reapply periodically.
  2. Regular Cleaning: Use a suede brush to gently remove dust and loose dirt. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For small marks, use a suede eraser or a soft, damp cloth with a specialized suede cleaner. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  4. Drying: If your sneakers get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
  5. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and direct sunlight. Avoid crushing them.
  6. Avoid Water: Suede is not waterproof. Minimize exposure to heavy rain or puddles.
