Union and Nike Join on a Field General Sneaker
References: highsnobiety
Union continues to grow its partnership with Nike as the duo presents a new variation of the Field General sneaker model. The shoes are detailed with various textures throughout the upper including knit mesh materials that add a touch of breathability.
It also has some zig-zag stitching which contributes to more contrast followed by a touch of velvet suede materials that add an elevated touch. It is topped off with a Swoosh logo branding on the side of the shoe which is made from leather materials. The shoe embodies a slim structure and is inspired by elements of football heritage. The packaging of the collaboration reflects the look of a locker shape and it is finished by the Union football hang tags.
