Nike's Retired Football Sneaker Sneaker Finds Its Whimsy
They say, never lose your whimsy. Thankfully, Nike's Field General has found it in this new era.
The latest "Lace Doily" pairs are the most whimsical of all the Field General releases thus far. It's busy, but in a good and cutesy way.
For starters, it features a diamond-patterned underlay topped with classic smooth suede overlays. Nike adds a classic leather Swoosh on the sidewall, while also stitching some lacy branding on the tongue and the heel. Dainty graphics land on the insoles, too.
Since retiring from football, Nike's Field General has enjoyed just as many normal designs as it has weirdly stylish ones. The model has appeared in not-your-normal faux fur looks and literal golden outfits . Let's not forget those patterned pairs by COMME des GARÇONS.
And now, the casual model returns with a new quirky-cute design. Speaking of which, the new "Lace Doily" pairs are now available on Nike's website for $125 in "Mystic Navy" and "Chalk" colorways.
