Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Your Nike Field General 82 sneakers are ready to wear right out of the box.
- Lacing: Ensure laces are threaded evenly through all eyelets. Adjust tension for a snug, comfortable fit without being too tight.
- Initial Wear: Wear them for short periods initially to allow the suede upper to naturally conform to the shape of your foot.
Compatibility
These sneakers are designed for:
- Casual Attire: Best paired with jeans, chinos, shorts, and casual trousers.
- Seasonal Versatility: Suitable for most seasons, though special care is needed in wet conditions due to the suede material.
Care
Proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your suede sneakers.
- Protection: Before first wear, apply a suede protector spray to repel water and stains. Reapply periodically as directed by the product.
- Cleaning Suede:
- Dry Brush: Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
- Spot Cleaning: For stubborn spots, use a suede eraser or a small amount of specialized suede cleaner applied with a soft cloth. Blot, do not rub aggressively.
- Air Dry: Always allow suede to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight if it gets wet.
- Storage: Store sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Water: Suede is highly susceptible to water damage. Try to avoid wearing these sneakers in heavy rain or wet conditions. If they do get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and let them air dry naturally.
