Nike brings back its Field General sneaker this year, highlighting the impressive elements of the football shoe with a slim structure. The Field General '82 model entered the market in 1982 and garnered popularity for the football field and it is getting another launch on February 29th.
The silhouette is made from premium leather over the upper paneling with nylon materials. The colorway palette is classic red with white for a simple yet bold design language. To round out the sneaker, the upper is made with a bright buttery red Swoosh motif as the main branding on the side. It rests on top of a rubber outsole unit for field-ready traction. More branding makes its way onto the heel and tongue.
