Nike Field General - Blue - 8.5 UK

The upper features premium suede with sky-blue leather overlays, providing a distinctive look and comfortable feel. The outsole is made of durable lugged rubber for traction.

No, the Nike Field General 82 is designed as a lifestyle and casual shoe, not for modern high-performance sports, running, or intense athletic activities. Its construction prioritizes heritage style and everyday comfort.

No, the suede and leather construction is not waterproof. It's best to avoid heavy rain or excessively wet conditions to protect the materials and maintain the shoe's appearance.

For suede, use a specialized suede brush and cleaner. For leather overlays, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Always air dry away from direct heat sources. Detailed care instructions are provided in the 'Setup, Compatibility & Care' section.

Nike Field General 82 shoes are generally considered to fit true to size. We recommend selecting your usual UK shoe size for adults.

A 'lugged rubber outsole' refers to the bottom of the shoe having raised indentations or patterns (lugs) made of rubber. These lugs are designed to provide enhanced grip and traction, especially on varied surfaces.

The 'Field General' series originates from a Nike American football turf shoe released in 1982, designed for players on the field. This modern iteration pays homage to that original design.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the nap of the suede, moving in one direction to lift the fibers and restore its original texture. For stubborn areas, a suede eraser can help.

For light dirt, brush it off when dry. For liquid stains, blot immediately. For dried stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner, following its instructions carefully. Test on an inconspicuous area first.

Wipe the leather surfaces with a clean, soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a small amount of mild soap (like diluted dish soap) on the cloth, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Dry immediately with a clean, dry cloth.

Ensure you have the correct size. If new, wear them for short periods initially to break them in. Try different types of socks for improved cushioning or to adjust fit slightly. If discomfort persists, consult a shoe specialist.

Check the outsole for embedded debris (small stones, mud) and clean it thoroughly. If the lug pattern is visibly worn down, the shoe may be reaching the end of its useful life for optimal grip.
