FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
No, while they draw inspiration from a turf shoe, the Nike Field General 82 SP Trainers are designed for casual wear and street fashion, not for athletic performance activities like running, training, or competitive sports.
How do I choose the correct size?
These trainers are listed in UK adult sizes. We recommend selecting your usual Nike trainer size. If you are unsure, measure your foot length and compare it to Nike's official sizing chart. Info needed: [Link to general Nike sizing chart]
Is the leopard print durable?
Yes, the leopard print is integrated into the leather upper. With proper care, including gentle cleaning and avoiding harsh chemicals, the print should remain vibrant and durable over time.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
While the leather offers some protection, these trainers are not fully waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions to protect the leather and print. A leather protector spray can offer some water resistance.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper of this specific variant is made from high-quality leather, providing durability, comfort, and a premium feel.
Do these trainers require any special breaking-in period?
As with most quality leather footwear, a short breaking-in period is typical. The leather will gradually soften and conform to your foot shape after a few wears, enhancing comfort.
Troubleshooting
My trainers feel stiff during the first few wears.
Leather can initially feel stiff. Wear them for short periods at first to allow the leather to soften and mold to your feet. This 'breaking-in' period is normal for quality leather footwear.
The leopard print appears dull or dirty.
Gently clean the printed areas with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a mild leather cleaner suitable for colored or printed leather, dabbing lightly. Avoid rubbing vigorously.
I've scuffed the leather.
For light scuffs, a leather conditioner or a small amount of leather balm can often help buff them out. For deeper scuffs, consult a professional shoe repair specialist.
The trainers developed an odor.
Remove insoles (if removable) to air out. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside and leave overnight. Ensure trainers are fully dry before storing.
The rubber outsole seems to be losing its grip.
Check for embedded debris in the lugs and clean them out. For general wear, ensure the outsole is clean and free from oil or grease. If the sole is significantly worn smooth, it might be time for replacement or professional resoling if possible. Info needed: [Guidance on sole wear limit]

Care Instructions
Given the leather material and animal print pattern, proper care is crucial to maintain their appearance and extend their lifespan:
- Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt and scuffs, use a soft, damp cloth with a mild leather cleaner. Gently wipe the affected area.
- Deep Cleaning (Leather): Use a dedicated leather cleaning solution according to its instructions. Apply with a soft brush or cloth, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Drying: Always allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources, as this can damage the leather.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially on the leopard print areas. Ensure the product is suitable for both leather and printed surfaces.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes, which can damage the leather and print.
