Nike’s Fur-tastically Flat Retro Sneaker Has That Dog in ‘Em
With new spotted hair, Nike's Field General is here to prove that its the top dog of flat Swoosh sneakers.
In 2024, Nike plucked the Nike Field General from the archives, reintroducing the reborn flat-soled classic in retro-style flavors and even outfits similar to adidas' TikTok-approved Gazelle sneaker. The Nike Field General even got CdG and Union collaborations for its big return to the shoe game.
The Nike Field General has gotten much more stylish in its revival era, too. Remember when Nike delivered the resurrected football shoe in the fashionably fuzzy "London" iteration last year? Good times for good Swoosh steppers.
Next up? The Nike Field Field general does "Dalmatian."
Nike's Field General "Dalmatian" sees the old-school Swoosh sneaker dressed up with creamy leather and spotted fur moments throughout the upper, resulting in this textural pleasing version of the Nike sneaker.
There seems to be some confusion regarding whether new hairy shoes feature cow-printed or Dalmatian-spotted fur. Me? I'm #TeamDalmatian.
In that case, does that make Nike Cruella De Vil? Well, no, considering the brand isn't a glamorous villain out to turn puppies into fashion pieces (BTW, no dogs were harmed in the making of this Nike Field General sneaker).
Anywho. Nike's Field General 82 "Dalmatian" sneakers are anticipated to release during the spring season alongside a luxurious snakeskin pack and classic "Oregon Ducks"-flavored pairs.
In short, Spring '25 will be a good (and hairy) season for Nike Field General lovers.
