Nike introduces a look at the revived Field General 82 sneaker model, bringing life back to the retro silhouettes in impressive colorways. The Black and Sail is a classic palette with sleek black leather throughout the upper including the perforated element.
The Field General 82 also gets some neutral tones with tonal contrast in the form of soft grey suede found on the heel tab and the Swoosh logo on the side of the shoe. Other details include the signature groove gum sole unit that perfectly pairs with the creamy black leather. Other options include the fuzzy brown suede and a brighter white and baby pink leather option. A muted option is a white silhouette with the traditional nylon build.
