FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for running or sports?
While the Nike Field General 82 SP has roots in athletic wear, this updated version is designed primarily for casual, everyday wear and style. It is not engineered with the specialized support and cushioning required for high-performance running or other sports.
How do I clean my Nike Field General 82 SP sneakers?
Gently wipe the synthetic and leather uppers with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild shoe cleaner formulated for leather and synthetic materials. Avoid harsh chemicals and always air dry away from direct heat.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Nike sneakers generally tend to run true to size, but individual fit can vary. We recommend consulting Nike's official size chart for the most accurate guidance, especially if you are between sizes.
Can I wear these sneakers in the rain?
The synthetic and leather materials offer some degree of water resistance, but these sneakers are not fully waterproof. For best protection and to prolong their life, it's advisable to avoid heavy rain or snow, and consider applying a water-repellent spray.
What materials are the sneakers made from?
The Nike Field General 82 SP features a combination of synthetic materials for the main upper with genuine leather touches on the mudguard, eye stays, and heel tab. The sole is made from durable rubber.
Is this a men's or women's shoe?
This specific model is designed as a 'Unisex' sneaker, meaning it is styled to be worn comfortably and fashionably by individuals of any gender.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound when walking
Often, this is caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, then replacing the insole.
Leather creasing or wrinkles appearing
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather. To minimize it, use shoe trees when the sneakers are not being worn. For existing creases, gently massage a leather conditioner into the affected area.
Difficulty keeping laces tied
Ensure you're using a secure knot, such as a double knot. You can also try different lacing techniques like the surgeon's knot, which offers more grip. Replacing worn-out laces might also help.
Scuff marks on the synthetic or leather upper
For light scuffs, use a soft, damp cloth to gently rub the mark. For more persistent scuffs, a specialized leather or synthetic cleaner can be used cautiously. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Unpleasant odor from inside the shoe
Remove the insoles and allow them to air out. You can also sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and let it sit overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out. Ensure socks are worn and changed regularly.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your sneakers:
