Falling in line with the already released ‘Ready Pack’, Nike drop the Premier III in a fresh colourway for the beginning of the new season.
The Nike ‘Ready Pack’ dropped last week, dressing the Tiempo Legend X, Air Zoom Mercurial Vapor XV and Superfly IX, Phantom GX and Phantom Luna in corresponding colour ways for the start of the 23/24 season, with all Nike athletes set to make the switch up. But Nike also haven’t forgotten us non-league players who don’t quite fancy ourselves in the boots of the pros, wrapping the Premier III – grassroots champion – in a nice “White/University Red/Black” colourway that sees it fit right in alongside its professional relatives.
The Premier III boasts a premium K-leather upper, featuring 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 The big and bold Nike sign off on the heel has been replaced by an embossed logo, with “Nike Premier” riding on top.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 along its base, just incase you want to lop it off.
And let's not forget that the Premier as we know it has its days numbered, following Nike's announcement that it will be moving away from K-leather in the near future – something the Tiempo has already done. The Premier will be following suit imminently, so if you're one who loves the leather, this could be one of your last chances to pick up a Premier crafted from that material.
