FAQs
Are these suitable for running?
While they offer comfort, the Nike Field General 82 is primarily designed as a lifestyle or casual trainer, not for high-performance running. They lack the specialized cushioning and support found in dedicated running shoes.
What is the 'Elemental Pink' and 'Obsidian' colorway?
This refers to a specific color combination used for the trainers. 'Elemental Pink' is the dominant or accent color, while 'Obsidian' likely refers to a dark blue or black detail, creating a distinct visual contrast.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to the Nike sizing chart and measure your foot from heel to toe. Compare your measurement to the chart. Given these are adult trainers, focus on the adult sizing conversions.
Can I wear these in wet conditions?
The gum sole offers some grip, but these trainers are not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials and maintain comfort.
What is the material of the trainers?
The product information indicates they are made of leather, contributing to their durability and classic aesthetic.
Are there other color options available?
The Nike Field General 82 model has been released in various colorways. While this guide focuses on the 'Elemental Pink' and 'Obsidian' version, other options may be available through different retailers or collections.
How does the gum sole perform on different surfaces?
The gum sole provides good traction on dry, smooth surfaces like pavement and indoor flooring. The textured grip tread enhances this stability. Performance may be reduced on very wet or slippery surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Laces loosening during wear
Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing laces with a textured pair for better grip.
Slight discomfort on initial wear
This is common with new footwear. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure the correct size is being worn.
Gum sole showing wear
The gum sole is durable but can show scuffs. Clean with a damp cloth. For deep scuffs, a magic eraser can sometimes help, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
Color transfer from shoe to socks
This can occur with new, darker colored shoes. This is usually temporary and will reduce with wear. Wash socks separately on the first few wears.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no specific setup beyond lacing them to your preferred tightness.
Compatibility: The Nike Field General 82 is designed for adult wear and is compatible with standard sizing. It pairs well with casual apparel.
Care: To maintain the condition of your trainers:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution. Avoid machine washing, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, when not in use to prevent material degradation. Consider using shoe trees to maintain their shape.
