The Nike Premier is one of the top choices of the no-nonsense grassroots footballer. It has recently had a generational upgrade, and now Nike supply several colour updates, ensuring that there’s options for all for the season run-in.
In a world where premium boots – those that the professionals at the top of the game wear – cost in the region of £200, the Nike Premier stands as the champion of the grassroots game. It’s a boot that prioritises comfort, but that offers up a top level of performance; that boasts tradition, heritage and a classic feel, but is still presented in a clean and contemporary look. All of this and you still get change from £100 – what more could you want? And speaking of those clean and contemporary looks, Nike have dropped three more colourways of the Premier III, which lineup alongside the previously seen “Black/Volt/White” option.
The next generation Nike Premier III was unveiled back in November of last year, and it still boasts a premium K-leather upper, although it now features an altered stitch pattern through the forefoot to create specific cushioning zones at the instep and outstep. The big and bold Nike sign off on the heel has been replaced by an embossed logo, with the wording “Nike Premier” riding on top. Then there’s the tongue. Some love it, some not so much, and Nike appreciate that, placing a dotted cut line on its base, just incase you want to lop it off.
As for colourways, alongside the already mentioned “Black/Volt/White” boot, which drew inspiration from 2012's "Clash Pack", we get a clean looking “Pure Platinum/White/Black” combo. those hints of gold on that light base bringing back memories of Ronaldinho's signature Nike Air Legend Tiempo R10. The there's a “University Red/Black” look and a “Signal Blue/White/Obsidian” presentation to round things off, both of which have strong ties to past boots.
Options for all, ensuring the Premier stays the boot of choice for the grassroots game.
