great on feet look! Waiting for my pair to arrive, really eager to test them out. It'll be interesting to see if any of the upcoming color ways have the same material on the toe box or if they'll switch it up.
This VERY SAME kinda shoes were worn back in the 80´s in the NFL, they came in adidas too and some other brands, I used to love them back then and NOW as well, can´t wait to buy myself a pair
These are great! I hope they release other designs from the same period (80's) like the Nike Yankee and/or Nike runners that have the same sole with the black wedge mid-sole.
Bro, those are the shoes i had back as a little kid in the 80's , i jad white and light grey sole and swoosh. They was my favorite nikes of all time. If they brought them back, i need to get a pair ASAP
I love the old 80s shoes and this one in this colour is really clean. I don’t think they should pitch this as a Samba beater, they’re not remotely in the same ballpark- literally! That ballistic nylon keeps the shoe light but nasty on the creases. I’m going to see this in hand first. Good review 👍🏻
Futsal must really be popular then and now. I checked up modern Futsal shoes, and they haven't changed much in appearance although internal tech would have dramatically improved.
In England stores like Sports Direct stock soccer shoes and other cheap shoes. The materials (apart from the nylon) all look the exact same (and are immediately recognisable). Same style leather and rubber outsole/ painted finish, same everything. I think they just got the same factory to make an American 80s basketball style shoe. The sole on the Samba looks just like a (modern) indoor soccer/ hanball shoe. The rest looks like an old school (Black and White era) soccer boot they'd use on grass with studs.

Just ordered. Really liking the simplicity factor and not bothered by nylon upper creasing (have Adidas SL72 OG's which have nylon uppers) Tops to Nike on these.
Sure looks good and yeah that nylon does look like it’ll be a problem. I may grab a pair as I’m looking for more everyday wear shoe and that does look like it’ll comfortable.
I have a fairly wide foot and about 10 pairs of Cortez’s because they are ridiculously comfortable for me. Would anyone know how much more narrow the Field Generals are because I love the look.
weren’t they both worn on turf? regardless, the everyday consumer wears samba’s casually like most older styles across brands. i highly doubt the majority of ppl will be wearing either for soccer/football in 2024. my comparison is for ppl who wear both styles casually.
@@jennizerr YES, they were used to play american football in the NFL in artificial turf back in the 80´s and the came in adidas and some other brands too!!!
Pure content. Thanks for the concise review.
thank you for watching 🙏

i’m a big fan of the field general!

they’ve been going back into the vault lately with the stussy ld 1000 and bode astrograbber collabs

lmk your thoughts once you get them in hand!

these are great for everyday 👌🏻
Very nice jen
I still have the high top version in that colorway. My grail. Would like to see simple high top colorways and not over the top.
These look clean as hell and thankfully aren’t reselling high
really want to see the union collab. still rocking this pair almost daily.
looks clean on foot!
agreed!
S/o Jenn you got to the point as always. That nylon quality is some nasty.
nylon looking worse and worse the more i wear them 😭
I really want a pair of these and want to sole swap them with a white aj1 sole
that would look 🔥
Would you say these are durable enough to play indoor flag football or rugby in or are they more of a "style" shoe?
these should be durable enough to play indoor flag football in.
I have a fairly wide foot and about 10 pairs of Cortez’s because they are ridiculously comfortable for me. Would anyone know how much more narrow the Field Generals are because I love the look.
they’re pretty narrow so half up is prob better for wide footers.
These look clean on foot
If this is competitor for the Samba what is the Nike Tiempo 94? 😅 0:28
those look too much like a performance shoe. field general is super simple like the samba
82 as in 1982. Before you time gal.
For sizing, are they similar to a dunk?
yes, for me. tts.
Is it safe to say to go with your Samba size for these?
yep, tts
Force Shields🤷🏿♂️
This shoe doesnt compare with samba’s please samba is a soccer shoe and field general is a fooball shoe . I wore both shoes back in the 80’s
weren’t they both worn on turf? regardless, the everyday consumer wears samba’s casually like most older styles across brands. i highly doubt the majority of ppl will be wearing either for soccer/football in 2024. my comparison is for ppl who wear both styles casually.
Killing the Samba

Do they fit true to size, say like a jordan 1?
That crease is horrible
agreed
Might have to buy the black ones 🔥
