The Nike Premier 3 FG is built for players who value control, comfort, and a traditional feel on the pitch. The premium leather upper is key to its performance, offering an immediate soft touch that allows for precise ball control, dribbling, and accurate passing. This makes it an excellent choice for midfielders and defenders who rely on their first touch and distribution.
On firm natural grass pitches, the boot's FG soleplate delivers consistent and reliable traction. The conical studs facilitate smooth rotational movements, essential for changing direction quickly, pivoting, and maintaining balance during dynamic play. The comfortable fit, enhanced by the leather molding to your foot, ensures you can perform at your best throughout the entire match without discomfort.
For example, a midfielder making quick turns to distribute the ball will benefit from the stable grip and responsive feel, while a defender clearing lines will appreciate the clean strike provided by the fold-over tongue and the durable construction.
Lacing: Ensure laces are snug but not overly tight, allowing for comfortable foot movement. The fold-over tongue can be secured by looping the laces through the central loop for a locked-down feel and a clean strike zone.
Break-in: As a leather boot, the Premier 3 FG may require a short break-in period. Wear them for light training sessions or casual use before full-intensity matches to allow the leather to stretch and mold to your foot.
Recommended Surface: These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches, which are typically natural grass fields that are dry to slightly damp.
Not Recommended: Avoid using FG boots on Artificial Ground (AG) or Soft Ground (SG) surfaces. Using them on AG can cause premature wear to the studs and the turf, while on SG, they will lack sufficient grip.
Cleaning: After each use, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a small amount of mild soap with water.
Drying: Always air dry your boots at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, hairdryers) as this can dry out and crack the leather. Stuffing the boots with newspaper helps absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather soft and prevent cracking. This is especially important if boots become very wet.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Consider using a boot bag for transport and protection.
