FAQs

What material are the Nike Field General 82 shoes made of?

The main upper material is textured suede, complemented by the nubby Waffle sole for traction and metallic details for accent.

Are these shoes suitable for playing sports like football or running?

No, despite their 'Field General' name and gritty American football roots, these are designed as lifestyle sneakers for casual wear and style, not for high-performance athletic activities.

How do I clean the suede on my Field General 82s?

For light dirt, use a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, always testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid water saturation.

Are there other color options available for the Field General 82 series?

Yes, the Nike Field General 82 series comes in several color combinations, often featuring variations with green, brown, and blue suede uppers.

What does 'nubby Waffle sole' mean?

A 'nubby Waffle sole' refers to the distinctive outsole design featuring small, raised nubs arranged in a Waffle-like pattern. This design provides enhanced traction and pays homage to Nike's original running shoe innovations.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Nike shoes typically run true to size for most individuals. We recommend purchasing your standard UK shoe size for the best fit.

Can I wear these in the rain?

It's best to avoid wearing suede shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions, as suede can be easily damaged by water and may stain. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted.

Use a soft suede brush to gently restore the nap. Brush in a single direction to lift the fibers and restore the texture.

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the lacing for a better fit. For a tighter fit, use all eyelets and pull laces firmly. For a looser fit, skip an eyelet or loosen laces slightly. Ensure you selected the correct UK size based on standard Nike sizing.

Metallic details appear scratched or losing shine.

Gently wipe metallic parts with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or brushes on these areas to prevent further damage.

Waffle sole seems to lack grip on certain surfaces.

Ensure the soles are clean from dirt or debris. The Waffle sole is designed for general traction on dry surfaces and may have reduced grip on very smooth, wet, or icy conditions.

Pros and Cons

Cons

  • Limited Athletic Use: Not designed for high-performance sports despite its original inspiration.
  • Weather Sensitivity: Suede is not ideal for wet or muddy conditions and can be damaged by water.

Initial Setup

Simply unbox and wear. No special setup is required. Ensure the laces are tied securely for a comfortable and safe fit.

Compatibility

  • Apparel: Best paired with casual clothing such as denim jeans, chinos, cargo pants, shorts, and active-inspired outfits. Its retro aesthetic also complements vintage sportswear.
  • Environment: Ideal for urban environments, dry weather conditions, and indoor settings. Suede is not recommended for heavy rain or muddy conditions.

Care and Maintenance

  1. Suede Protection: Before first wear, consider applying a high-quality `suede protector spray` to guard against water and stains. Follow the product instructions for application.
  2. Regular Cleaning: For general dirt and dust, use a suede brush to gently remove particles. Always brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede. For scuffs or stubborn marks, use a `suede eraser` or a soft, dry cloth. For deeper stains, a specialized `suede cleaner` can be used according to product instructions; always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  3. Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper towels or newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage suede.
  4. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
  5. Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid exposing them to excessive moisture, mud, or harsh chemicals, as these can severely damage the suede material.
