Nike launched the Field General on the market in 1982. The shoe was originally intended for the “Field Generals”, the quarterbacks in American football. As the sport was not particularly popular outside the USA in the 80s, the model disappeared into oblivion. However, with the increasing popularity of the NFL worldwide in recent years and the current fashion zeitgeist, Nike couldn't have picked a better time to bring back the Field General! Over 40 years later, the white nylon upper with smooth leather overlays and green details still cuts a fine figure.

About Nike
"Just do it" : Hardly any other brand lives its brand slogan like the sporting goods manufacturer founded in Beaverton in 1971. In the 1960s, athletics coach Bill Bowerman set himself the task of developing the perfect running shoe for his students. Together with the student Phil Knight, this project gave rise to the company Nike, which celebrated its breakthrough at the 1972 Olympic Games. Among the greatest achievements in the company's history are the involvement of the exceptional basketball talent Michael Jordan and the introduction of visible Nike Air® cushioning on the Nike Air Max 1. In the 80s film classic "Back to the Future", the Nike Mag with its automatic lacing plays a central role. Nike's chief designer Tinker Hatfield has recently managed to turn this dream idea into reality. Using Nike E.A.R.L. technology, he has launched the first self-lacing shoe on the market, heralding the future of sneaker development.
