The Nike Premier III FG excels for players who prioritize natural ball feel and comfort. The premium leather upper ensures an immediate, broken-in feel, allowing for superior touch and control, whether dribbling through tight spaces or striking long passes. The conical studs provide reliable multi-directional traction, making quick cuts and sudden changes of pace effortless on firm, natural grass pitches. Players will appreciate the stability offered by the full-length TPU soleplate during explosive movements. The customizable foldover tongue is a notable feature, giving players the freedom to tailor the fit and feel to their preference, ensuring no distractions during play. These boots are ideal for match days and training sessions on well-maintained firm ground fields.
Lacing: Loosen the laces completely. Slide your foot into the boot, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated at the back.
Tongue Adjustment: Decide whether to use the foldover tongue or remove it. If removing, carefully cut along the dotted cutting line to ensure a clean finish.
Tightening: Systematically tighten the laces from the toes upwards, ensuring a snug yet comfortable fit without excessive pressure points. Double-knot for security during play.
Initial Wear: Wear the boots for a short period around the house or during light training to allow the leather to begin molding to your foot shape.
Pitch Type: These boots are designed exclusively for Firm Ground (FG) pitches. This includes natural grass fields that are slightly wet or short-cut.
Avoid: Using FG boots on Artificial Grass (AG), Soft Ground (SG), or indoor surfaces can cause premature wear to the soleplate and studs, and may also compromise grip and player safety.
Immediate Cleaning: After each use, remove excess mud and dirt using a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Drying: Stuff the boots with newspaper to absorb moisture and help them retain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight) which can dry out and crack the leather.
Leather Conditioning: Periodically apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream to keep the leather soft and supple, preventing cracking and extending the boot's lifespan.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, ideally in a boot bag to protect them from dust and damage.
Odour Control: Use boot deodorizers or simply air them out regularly to prevent odour buildup.
