The Union x Nike Field General Releases July 10th

The upcoming Union LA x Nike Field General SP release marks another exciting chapter in the longstanding collaboration between Union and Nike, a partnership that dates back to Union's first sneaker release with Nike in 2005.

The resurgence of the Field General is a strategic move to rival the increasing popularity of the Adidas Samba, which has been experiencing a global surge in demand. Union's approach to the Field General reimagines the classic silhouette, transforming it into something almost entirely new while still maintaining key elements of the original design. Notable features include the rubber nub sole and the low-rise profile, characteristic of the Field General.

Union's creative touch is evident in the extensive modifications made to the sneaker. The original cuts are layered with suede overlays, a significant departure from the original's nylon upper. The uppers now comprise a thick netted mesh, further differentiating this version from its predecessor. Additional details, such as ribbon pull, add to the sneaker's unique aesthetic.

Color-wise, the first release adopts a Neapolitan palette, with chocolate brown uppers complemented by pink-beige overlays. Splashes of hot pink are scattered throughout the design, adding vibrant accents. The signature UN/LA yellow tag, a recognizable element in Union collaborations, is prominently placed at the midfoot, cementing the union of these two iconic brands.

The second, a signature Black/Off Noir scheme that's been seen on a handful of Union x Nike, Inc. collaborations over the years, while a third, unsighted option in "Ivory" is yet to appear.

The Nike x Union Field General "Ivory" is releasing July 10th at 7AM PST / 10 AM EST on the Nike SNKRS app.
