Nike Field General 82

The Nike Field General ’82 is a revamped version of the original model that debuted, fittingly, in 1982. Given how seamlessly they’ve been reintroduced as a lifestyle sneaker, featuring simple construction and a literally low profile, it’s hard to imagine that they were initially brought out as a football shoe. However, their lightweight construction begot speed, making them a popular gridiron choice in their original era.

After hitting shelves again in February 24, the silhouette received a ton of new attention in June when the long-awaited Union Nike Field General collaboration released. In the time surrounding that release, we’ve gotten a steady stream of new looks for the model, sure to continue as 2024 plays out (and possible beyond.)
