Nike SF Boot Update

Sunday, March 22nd, 2009

Last Summer we broke the story about the Nike SF Boot and the Editor has been wearing a pair in Tan off and on since then. It is an excellent ultra lightweight boot built on the Nike Free sole.

Nike Special Field Boot

Previously, the boots in Tan and Black could only be purchased through a special website but they are now available to everyone. They can be purchased at Nike Town. However, a word of caution. Nike is notorious for changing their web content on a regular basis so the link may not be valid for long.

Nike Reenters the Tactical Market

Nike

We say “reenters” because Nike has dipped their toe into the pool a couple of times in the past, most recently developing a line of tactical watches based on their Oregon series. Initially produced in Black they transitioned to Coyote and eventually a digital print was offered. But now Nike has come back with their most ambitious project yet; the Special Field Boot.

Nike Special Field Boot

Nike’s co-founder, Bill Bowerman served as a Major in the Army’s 10th Mountain Division during WWII. As a track coach he applied lessons learned on the battlefield to shoe design, making them lighter while maintaining stability and strength. As Nike researched the SFB they realized a fact that most of us have always known, that America’s Warriors are athletes and deserve the same consideration in their equipment as their contemporaries who take to the playing field rather than the battle field.

Nike Special Field Boot Construction

This isn’t some cheap knock off boot, it is seriously engineered footwear. Looking like someone mated a pair of desert boots with the natural motion of Nike Free running shoes, the Nike Special Field Boot is the brainchild of Nike’s Innovation Kitchen. Although Nike has integrated their latest technology into the SFB, they kept the requirements of AR 670-1 in mind so that it would be accepted for wear by military personnel. But please don’t feel that the SFB is intended solely for the military. Public service professionals, whether Law Enforcement or Fire/Rescue will appreciate the design as well. The boot has been in development since 2004 and undergone intensive testing by US Special Operations Forces. Weighing in at only 15.9 oz (size 10), the SFB is available in both Desert Tan and Black.

Available to qualified US purchasers exclusively from Niketown.
