Nike Turned a Sporty Classic Into Premium Leather Throwback
Once a great football shoe, the Nike Field General is now basically a do-it-all kind of casual sneaker, having embraced everything from denim outfits to luscious suede makeovers. And now, Nike's do-anything, go-anywhere shoe is going luxury.
The latest Nike Field General sneaker gets wrapped in brown premium leather, resulting in a delicious and creamy take on the classic model.
The "Cacao Wow" shoe also features Sail-colored accents alongside a mesh tongue, nicely contrasting against one of Nike's most beautiful brown shades.
This sneaker is also equipped with the Field General's signature rugged outsole that used to tear up fields back in the day (in a good way, of course). Nowadays, this thing is just going to reinforce your grip while walking, and what's wrong with that?
The premium brown leather brings another retro-style look to the Field General shoe, subtly recreating the magic of the shoe's golden gridiron days.
Plus, the shade even kinda reminds you of a football, which is quite a literal reference to the Field General's roots. Maybe not a purposeful callback but, still.
Nike's Field General sneaker has become quite versatile in its comeback era.
The shoe has seen plenty of old-school color schemes. But Nike has also experimented with more fashion-y designs, giving the Field General Bottega Veneta-ish woven looks and even slick gold transformations.
The leather version is a return to form for the good ol' Field General.
And while we're on the subject of these buttery pairs, Nike's leather Field General in "Cacao Wow" is now available on Nike's website for $115.
