Designed for dedicated grassroots players, the Nike Premier 3 Astro Turf Trainers offer superior touch, comfort, and multi-directional traction on synthetic surfaces, allowing you to dominate the game.

The Nike Premier 3 Astro Turf Trainers are engineered to provide a seamless and effective experience on artificial pitches. The premium leather upper is the cornerstone of its performance, offering a soft, adaptive fit that enhances your first touch and overall ball control. This means quick passes, precise dribbling, and confident shots feel natural and responsive.
The non-marking rubber outsole with moulded lugs is crucial for stability and agility on synthetic surfaces. Its design ensures multi-directional traction, allowing you to change direction rapidly, accelerate, and decelerate without slipping. This is particularly beneficial in tight spaces and during quick transitions of play typical of astro turf games. The 'non-marking' feature also makes them ideal for indoor artificial pitches without damaging the playing surface.
Players will appreciate the comfort provided by the plush leather and subtly adjusted stitching creating cushioning zones. This helps reduce foot fatigue over 90 minutes of play, allowing you to stay focused on the game. The customizable fold-over tongue can be tailored to your preference – a classic look with added strike zone coverage, or removed for a more modern, lighter feel. This adaptability ensures the boots perform optimally for your individual playstyle. These trainers are truly for the "no-nonsense player" who values control, comfort, and reliable grip on turf.
Breaking In: While the premium leather is soft, it's recommended to wear the trainers for a few short sessions before a full match. This allows the leather to fully mold to your foot shape for optimal comfort and fit.
Tongue Customization: If you prefer a streamlined look without the fold-over tongue, carefully use scissors to cut along the dotted line provided. Ensure a clean, straight cut to preserve the integrity of the boot's fit.
Surface: These trainers are designed exclusively for shorter, synthetic surfaces (astro turf). Using them on natural grass, firm ground, or indoor courts with different traction requirements may lead to reduced performance and accelerated wear.
Fit: Sizing is standard UK adult sizing. The leather upper offers some natural stretch and adaptation over time.
Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For stubborn stains, use a specialized leather cleaner designed for football boots. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes.
Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never use direct heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers) as this can dry out and crack the leather.
Conditioning: To maintain the leather's suppleness and prevent cracking, regularly apply a high-quality leather conditioner or balm. This helps keep the material moisturized and protected.
Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees or stuffing them with newspaper to help retain their shape.
