Nike Launches Special Field Boots Perfect for Winter

Nike‘s SFB, short for “Special Field Boot,” has never been a blockbuster franchise, but the military-inspired boot has maintained a steady presence since 2009, including several offshoots, such as a low-top with React cushioning and a NikeLab project featuring patent leather. Now, amid what’s been a particularly brutal winter for a good part of the U.S., the baseline boot is returning with three new colorways.

The Nike SFB has quietly been released in Golden Biege, Triple-Black and a mix of army green and camouflage. Each edition of the six-inch boot is made with a mix of leather and nylon with a water-repellent coating. A foam midsole adds modern cushioning to the silhouette, and the waffle outsole provides grip within a core Nike shape.

Triple Black doesn’t deviate from its description, and the Golden Beige edition goes slightly more complex with a single-tone upper and off-white midsole. More dynamic is the green and camo variant, which uses the former color for its suede elements, camo for its nylon and khaki for its sole unit.

Since last fall, Nike has beefed up its boot offerings by reviving both the Air Max Goadome and Bolotoro silhouettes. Both silhouettes were originally part of the ACG line upon their introductions, with the latter launching in 1990 and the former in 2000.

ACG, meanwhile, was just announced with a performance-focused relaunch on Monday, which now gives an indication of why the two retro models have shifted outside its purview.

The new crop of Nike SFBs is out now on Nike’s website. Pricing for each is set at $155.
