The Nike Premier 3 TF trainers are built for players who prioritize touch, comfort, and reliable traction on artificial turf fields. The premium leather upper is the cornerstone of its performance, molding to your foot over time to provide an almost barefoot feel, which translates into exceptional ball control and a natural first touch. This allows for precise passing, confident dribbling, and powerful shots.
The fold-over tongue not only offers a classic aesthetic but can also be customized. If you prefer a more streamlined feel, the integrated cut line lets you trim the tongue for a modern look without compromising the boot's fit. This adaptability ensures personal comfort and helps reduce distractions during intense play.
On the pitch, the non-marking rubber outsole with multi-directional moulded lugs truly shines. These boots provide consistent, aggressive grip crucial for quick changes of direction, explosive acceleration, and stable pivoting on synthetic surfaces. Whether you're making a sharp turn to beat a defender or planting your foot for a shot, the Premier 3 TF keeps you firmly planted. The specific cushioning zones further enhance comfort, reducing pressure points during extended wear, making them ideal for training sessions and match days alike. These boots are a dependable choice for grassroots football, offering a classic feel with modern performance benefits tailored for artificial pitches.
The Nike Premier 3 TF trainers require minimal setup.
Lacing: Lace them up securely, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit.
Tongue Customization (Optional): If you prefer a shorter tongue, carefully use sharp scissors along the dotted cut line on the fold-over tongue to remove the upper portion. Ensure a clean, even cut to maintain the boot's aesthetics and fit.
These trainers are specifically designed for artificial turf (TF) and other synthetic playing surfaces, including indoor courts. The outsole's lug pattern is engineered to provide optimal traction on these surfaces. They are not recommended for use on natural grass pitches, as the sole may not provide adequate grip and could wear down prematurely.
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your leather boots:
Cleaning After Use: After each use, wipe down the leather upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For stubborn mud, a soft brush can be used gently.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators, or artificial heat sources, as these can cause the leather to crack or harden. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Leather Conditioning: Periodically apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream to keep the leather soft, supple, and prevent drying out. Follow the product's instructions for application.
Sole Cleaning: Use a brush to remove any dirt or artificial turf pellets from the rubber outsole and lugs to maintain optimal traction.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
Avoid Submerging: Do not submerge leather boots in water, as this can damage the material.
