40 Years Later, Nike Is Bringing Back The Field General 82

In a surprising twist of fate, Nike has recently announced the revival of the Field General 82. Making its comeback in the original ‘White’ colorway, the sneaker retains the distinctive leather and ballistic nylon construction that contributed to its initial legendary status. The outsole faithfully replicates the 1980s original (excluding the cleated version), featuring the same Super Bowl-ready tread pattern tailored for optimal multi-directional movement—ideal for dominating a casual Saturday touch football game.
Nike’s recognizable branding is skillfully stitched onto the tongue tag and heel badge, while the classic red Swoosh embellishes both the lateral and medial sidewalls, injecting a touch of vibrancy. The package is completed with a specially designed retro shoebox that’s sure to evoke nostalgia among old-school sneaker enthusiasts.

In addition to the OG version, Nike has exciting collaborations in the pipeline for the Field General 82 later in the season. Although specific details remain hazy, speculation suggests an upcoming Union LA x Nike Field General 82 collaboration. For aficionados of this model, early financial planning might be advisable.

Anticipated for re-release in February, the Nike Field General 82 ‘White’ will be available at Nike, the SNKRS app, and select global retailers, priced at $100. With Super Bowl LVIII just around the corner, Nike could be preparing a special launch to coincide with the sport’s most important game of the year.
