What is the Nike Special Field Boot (SFB)?
In 2004, Nike’s tier one RD&D team (the Innovation Kitchen) initiated a deep dive research project: Assess the footwear needs of those elite military soldiers around the world that could be versatile enough for special law enforcement and other first responder professionals. More than 60 years ago, Major Bill Bowerman became a founding member of the 10th Mountain Division. As a track coach and Nike co-founder, his number one priority for making footwear was to make it as light as possible and to avoid overbuilding them, which always led to stiffer, hotter, heavier, less breathable, poorer performing product. Interestingly, though not surprisingly, our research revealed that today’s modern high speed everyday hero wanted Bowerman’s approach applied to today’s field boot. So that’s exactly what we did. The result is the lightest weight, fastest drying, highest mobility performance boot we’ve ever made. The Nike Special Field Boot (SFB) is: • Extremely Lightweight…Size 10 boot weighs 15
