Designed for dedicated football players seeking superior touch and comfort on artificial surfaces, the Nike Premier 3 Astro Turf Trainers offer a classic feel with modern performance. While excelling on synthetic pitches with their premium leather upper and specialized traction, they are specifically engineered for these surfaces and not recommended for natural grass.
Premium Leather Upper: Crafted from soft, supple cow leather, these trainers enhance your first touch and provide exceptional comfort during play.
Customizable Fold-Over Tongue: Features a pre-marked cut line, allowing you to choose between a traditional fold-over look or a more modern, shortened tongue style.
Optimized Traction for Synthetic Surfaces: The non-marking rubber outsole with molded lugs is specifically designed to deliver multi-directional grip on astro turf and shorter synthetic pitches.
Targeted Cushioning Zones: Subtle stitching on the leather creates specific cushioning at the instep and outstep, contributing to improved ball control and a plush feel.
Premium Aesthetic: Embossed branding on the heel and a Premier overlay tab on the Swoosh add a refined touch to the classic design.
Enhanced Ball Control: The premium leather upper significantly improves ball feel and touch.
Customizable Style: The unique fold-over tongue with a cut line allows for personal preference.
Excellent Traction: Specifically engineered outsole provides reliable grip on artificial grass.

Durable Construction: High-quality materials ensure longevity for regular use.
Surface Specific: Optimized exclusively for synthetic surfaces; performance on natural grass will be compromised.
Break-in Period: Like all leather footwear, a short break-in period may be required for optimal comfort.
Tongue Customization: Requires careful cutting if a shorter tongue is desired, which is irreversible.

The Nike Premier 3 Astro Turf Trainers are built for players who prioritize feel and control on artificial pitches. The premium leather upper offers an almost barefoot-like sensation, allowing for precise passes, confident dribbling, and powerful shots. The leather adapts to your foot over time, providing a custom, secure fit that enhances responsiveness. On astro turf and shorter synthetic surfaces, the specialized non-marking rubber outsole delivers consistent, multi-directional traction. This means you can make quick cuts, accelerate, and pivot with confidence without slipping. The molded lugs prevent turf from getting clogged in the sole, maintaining grip throughout the game. The fold-over tongue not only adds a classic aesthetic but also provides a clean strike zone. Players can choose to keep the traditional look or use the provided cut line for a more modern, streamlined fit, ensuring the boot performs exactly how they prefer. These trainers are ideal for training sessions, league matches, and casual games on artificial grounds, providing reliable performance and a comfortable experience.
Initial Wear: Wear the trainers for short periods around the house or during light activities to allow the leather to begin molding to your foot shape.
Tongue Customization (Optional): If you prefer a shorter tongue, carefully use sharp scissors to cut along the dotted line provided on the fold-over tongue. Ensure a clean, even cut to maintain aesthetics and comfort. This modification is irreversible.
Lacing: Experiment with lacing techniques to find the most secure and comfortable fit. Ensure laces are tight enough to prevent foot movement without causing pressure points.
Surfaces: Exclusively designed for astro turf (TF) and shorter synthetic playing surfaces. Do NOT use on natural grass (firm ground, soft ground), artificial grass (AG), or indoor courts (IC) as this will compromise performance, traction, and potentially damage the outsole.
Player Type: Suitable for adult male players seeking a classic, touch-oriented boot for artificial surfaces.
Cleaning: After each use, wipe off dirt and debris with a damp cloth. For tougher stains on the leather, use a specialized leather cleaner designed for sports footwear. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can dry out and crack the leather.
Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
Odour Control: If odours develop, use shoe deodorizers or place baking soda packets inside to absorb moisture and smells.
