June continues to be an excellent month for sneaker releases, especially those rolling off of Nike’s production belts. Nina Chanel Abney launched her Air Jordan 3 sneaker. HUF revived its Nike Air Max 1 collab after — counts on fingers — 20 years. Now, Union is finally dropping its long-awaited take on Nike’s Field General sneaker.
Union’s Nike sneakers were one of the more standout reveals to greet us in January. Why? Because it doesn’t look like the OG model from the 80s or the slim 2024 revival — it’s in a league of its own.
Like Union’s previous Nikes, its Field General is busy with Union details (a good thing).
The Nike sneaker has all sorts of things happening — some knit mesh moments here, some contrast zig-zag stitching there, a little dash of velvety suede, and a leather Swoosh topping. Oh, and I can’t forget the spongey, perfectly imperfect tongue.
Union’s Nike Field General preserves the shoe’s slim shape and football roots, packaging its collaboration in a locker-shaped shoebox and snapping Union football hang tags on the sneaker.
It looks like we’ll also be in for some clothing options, specifically varsity jackets and panther graphic sweatshirts — speaking to the school culture and, of course, those exciting game days.
The Unio x Nike collab again showcases the label’s knack for unexpectedly good details, which oftentimes make for clever storytelling moments. In short, Union’s Nike Field General sneaker collaboration is another perfect Union shoe.
After much build-up, Union is ready to take its Nike shoe to the field. According to a recent teaser, Union’s Nike Field General sn will launch on June 27 on Union’s website and stores.
So far, Nike’s Union Field General has appeared in black, reddish brown, and white colorways. It’s safe to assume all three options will launch exclusively at Union, with probably one or two of the sneakers landing later at Nike and select retailers.
As we speak, the black Union x Nike pair is loaded on some retailers’ release calendars as a “soon-come” drop.
You hear that? It’s Union x Nike time, y’all.
