Nike might be playing second fiddle to adidas when it comes to animal print sneakers (see the “Cheetah” Sambas), but they’re continually proving to want a piece of that pie. The Field General has been the Beaverton brand’s go-to silo for experimenting with animal textures; an understandable choice given it’s been positioned as an adidas Samba competitor since returning last year. We’ve seen “Snakeskin,” “Cheetah,” and “Cow Print” do-ups hit the turf-turned-lifestyle shoe thus far, and now the last of that trio is adding a “Cinnamon” colorway to the mix.
This marks the third “Cow Print” Field General to hit our newswire, preceded by a black colorway featuring a leather base and “Baroque Brown” pair (IH4478-030) featuring mesh. This “Cinnamon” edition freshens things up yet again, opting for tight-knit canvas under faux, spotted black/brown overlays. The laces and Swoosh logos appear in “Sail,” while “Gum Dark Brown” soles cap off the delivery underfoot.
