The sneakers will be released altogether with the Union U capsule collection via UNION LA’s official website.
Update: A first look at the forthcoming Union LA x Nike Field General has been revealed, and it looks almost nothing like the 1982 football cleat that inspired it. Shown in photos from sneaker leaker @kicksdong , the revamped design offers a much more lifestyle-ready ethos, like a vintage turf trainer that’s simultaneously stripped back to its core and bolstered with layered detailing. The only details from the OG Field General — initially designed for and worn by NFL quarterbacks like Archie Manning and Dan Fouts — that appear unchanged are the exposed mesh toeboxes, quarter panels and tongues plus the slim heel collar.
Apart from that, everything else is an artistic interpretation, like an abstract painter putting their spin on a carefully drawn portrait. An earthy brown and tan color scheme cut with hits of pink is spread across heavily layered panel.
