Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Nike Field Generals maintain their condition, apply a protective suede spray before the first wear to guard against water and light dirt. Because of the delicate nature of the suede upper, it is important to avoid wearing them during heavy rain or in muddy conditions. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust. For tougher marks, use a dedicated suede eraser. Avoid using water or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can permanently discolor or stiffen the suede. When not in use, store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
