Riley von Niessen — August 23, 2016 — Fashion
The 'Special Field Boots' from Nike were made with the classic design of military boots in mind, making for a hybrid sneaker series that's durable, functional and versatile.
It's reported that the model came from the time in the military that the company's founder spent, with the Special Field Boots therefore infusing this into the design. Although it's not the first time that the unique military boots have been released to the public, the brand's inclusion of new colorways makes the relaunch especially exciting for its consumers.
In addition to the new black and beige looks, Nike has remodeled the upper of the shoes so that it's more comfortable to wear -- which comes from the modular fabric used that offers great ankle support simultaneously.
