Technology makes everything better, right? Well, when it comes to football boots, that's what just about every major brand would like us to believe, with Nike arguably being the biggest pushers of the "high-tech" approach. But what about the low-tech options?
In today's video we take a closer look at the Nike Premier 3, the $110 kangaroo leather option from Nike that shares almost nothing in common with everything else they make! On paper, it's their worst football boots, but is that actually the case in reality? Is the lack of technology going to hold you back when it comes to actual performance?

Fun fact: It costs Nike more to make the premiers than the elite mercurials. When you buy a mercurial, you are paying for the endorsement contracts these pro players sign to wear them.
True but you are also paying for the amount of research, design, and testing that goes into designing a new boot every year
Leather is always gonna cost more than synthetic including the anecdotal research they do@@bakerboysdist420
Bosh 1st
Tiempo/legends/premier whatever the model, Nikes classic leather boots have always been my most reliable performers over my many years of boots, hands down.
I had a pair of these. Lasted me 5 years. Seriously comfortable.
Am still wearing these on weekend fun football. Needless to say I'm performing better with these as I can focus on the game rather than focusing on my feet and less worried about some tackles. Very comfortable out of the box.
See this is the vibe. Imo boots are better when you can just lace them up and forget that they are there. “Technology” doesn’t make something comfortable
Do you play on artificial grass?
Favorite player growing up was Shalrie Joseph and he used to rock red and white adipures throughout his career and always thought it was the coolest thing. Why brands don’t release these classic leather boots in more solid colors is strange to me. Release premiers in every primary color with a white swoosh and accents and I bet they’d sell twice as many as the “dark blue and green” or “orange and purple” type of color ways.
Shalrie Joseph wore predators bro
I feel the same way about basketball shoes. Crazy colorways are cool, but sometimes just having a clean team shoe style color scheme is better. Good to have options
@@colinreese He wore predators at St. John’s but switched to adipures when they released in the mid 2000s. I think when the predator powerswerve came out he might have switched to predators for the rest of his career but he definitely wore red full leather adidas for a substantial part of his career
The thing is business wise for them they don’t see or wanna target the niche audience like us but rather the younger crowd. Nike at least with the premier knows there’s a niche group of audience for boots of this price
Younger players don’t like these because they’ve grown up seeing Mbappe etc wearing speed boots not tiempos or adipures like before.
Thanks dude. I need to look up tiempo vs premier comparison now
Always have a pair of Nike Premiers in my bag alongside my tiempo legends and Mizuno Morelia in rotation and sometimes would wear em for weeks straight as my main pair. Incredibly comfortable and just gets the job done. Tho prefer the look of the Premier 2 but this is alright
Cant wait for you to review the new Mizuno Alpha synthetic boots Josie bro!
Premier's , 1st and 2nd edition gloros are the best boots to play in . To all young players always go for feel and comfort, Buying expensive shoes aren't going to make you play ,, Great Video !!!
Can’t beat the classic premier ii but only problem with leather is they get heavier when they get wet and hold the water / weight. Not much but you can feel it when coming from a speedflow +
I bought a pair of these over the summer. I loved the way they fit and the leather felt great, also the traction was fine considering the small studs. One problem I ran into was durability: The leather started to separate from the soleplate in several spots super early on, after maybe a week of wearing them. Not to the point where they weren't wearable, but definitely annoying. Also, the bits of decorative leather around the Nike swoosh are also starting to come apart.
Send them back to Nike you should have that covered in the guaranty
you played on ag with them? If you did, thats normal that fg boots will fall apart on that surface. And nike boots in general are the least durable out of all the football brands
You would probably don't use leather cream or dubbin after every game then, you gotta take care of leather boots. If you do there more durable then synthetics
Luke is right nothing to do with looking after them with products they do actually come apart really early and thread.
@@dannylyons824 maybe on ag, but on fg that will never happen
I've struggled with finding comfortable cleats for my wide feet my whole life. In an absolute desperate attempt to finally find some, I purchased 18 pairs! Premiers came on top, super comfy out of the box and quite stylish (Black/Volt/White). Honorable mention to Mizuno Morelia that are also INCREDIBLY comfortable, but they run very large, so look out for that.
Have you tried new balance? They offer wide fit options
@@camilo57041 I tried laced and laceless wide Tekelas. VERY uncomfortable... the sole has too much "contouring" making them feel really uneven. I would give 442s a try in the future, though. People swear by those.
Hey mate have u tried the puma future Z which also a great option for wide feet.
@@Clean000 Puma Future Z were one of the 18. They were wide enough and kinda comfortable, but my typical size left 1/2 inch of free space in the toe box. A smaller size would be too narrow.
Needed a SG pair of boots for the winter time alongside my Tiempo Legend 9 Elite FG and got the Premier II‘s for 50 bucks with the anti clog SG outsole, which is not flimsy at all.
They are more comfortable than the Tiempo and I couldn’t think of any SG boot in this price range, that comes even close.
Are they light at 260g? No. Does it matter in any way. Not a single bit, weight is incredibly overrated in football boots compared to comfort (small foot cramps, blisters etc affect your performance indefinitely)
Enjoy the boots! Step down from the premier II, upper feels thicker, and less stretch in the leather. but still remind me of the tiempo II from the 90's. hope the premier boot stays around.
I would still take quite a few top end models over the Premier. However if you can find them slightly discounted, and they often are. They dump all over any takedowns around $100 and below. I got some Premier 2s for $75 a few years back, unbelievable value for money. Much better than any academy/.3 takedown, and especially the laceless takedowns.
These are very good boots. Been wearing them for 5+ games and love them. I got the white version.
Meh these are much better than the 2s. $110 isn't bad. Super comfortable.
i got a brand new pair for 75
For me it's about roll over, if I cut and I feel my foot move around it distracts me. Leather cleats just aren't for me.
I'd wear a leather boot any time as long as it had Tiempo fit. But I'm more into knitted lather-like boots with stiffer/reinforced sides for stability. My all-time favorites are hypervenom 3's. Once broken in they got super soft upper matching leather boots (imo) with better stability due to flywire. Hope you get my point from this 😅
no synthetic has been anything like leather. Leather always has a padded feel that synthetics can just never match. They're cool in the heat and warm in the cold. Nothing like leather, never will be. Also that hypervenom 3 was stiffer than the og hypervenom by a country-mile
@@JonathanRodriguez-nz9nw My Son likes the Puma Future Z 1.3 Lasertouch an Nike Tiempo 9 MI Montebelluna. Leather all the way. Came from synthetics like the Future Z Tech Pack an the knit was super soft but nothing like a Algeria Kangaroo or Kangaroo leather upper 🔥
The softest most comfortable cleats I ever had were the puma cell kings with the pittards leather.
The cellerator gc1's.
These definitely need some SR4U laces
Baught and fg and sg pair of these last night
Fantastic as usual🙌🏼
Will you be reviewing the Predator Gold Absolute?
Video coming soon!
@@Soccerreviewsforyou gonna be insane😍 resell is crazy. 2k pairs worldwide did nobody favours
I have a pair of Premier 2 that I use for volleyball (we play on grass) and they’ve molded perfectly and are soooo comfortable, we play volleyball for 4-5 hours and never ever worry about foot pain or anything
Can you review the turf version?
Hi Josh, what would you pick, premier 3 or morelia II pro ?
Most comfort with affordable price🔥🔥🔥
Hey ,josh what do u think about the new ligue 1 kipsta ball ? How does it stack up among the likes of adidas , nike or even select ? Please reply .
Hey man I hope you see this. I've been playing with Mizuno Morelia Neo 2 boots for the last year. I love them so much(best boots I've ever worn), but at the moment there are not alot of non black colourways in my size (uk9) in the morelia neo 3. I have the opportunity to buy a pair of Rebula cup 3s MIJ. I play rugby so speed and a locked in feel is a must. Should I buy the pair of Rebulas or should I wait it out a bit for more morelia releases? Do you think there would be morelia neo releases before February next year? I love your videos man keep it up!!
Regards
Bryan Breda
These are literally their best boots. Technology has nothing to do with performance, comfort does. You can put the fastest guy in a pair of Copa Mundial and they will still be just as fast. And most pros, and good players in general, want comfort over everything. That is why guys like Kroos, with his completely custom-from-the-retail-version 11pro II, have leather boots with older stud patterns. Like Josh says, nothing can match leather broken-in to your specific feet in comfort, touch or feel
I never play in anything other than leather, but i will use synthetics to train in here and there
Can you do a ranking of best AG boots (maybe on a budget)
I’m an American football punter, and these are still my favorite to kick in. Tiempos used to be until they ditched the real leather.
Cant wait for the new mizuno review😂
Hello Josh do you prefer tiempo legend pro the take downs or the nike premiers
I prefer these NIKES Primer 3 over any other technologically advanced shoe out there, is all about the comfort in my opinion, the rest is up to the person wearing them
Josh hello) what is better you think? mizuno morelia II elite or nike tiempo 9 elite? thank you)
But the coach and the staff wear them on football pitch... simply worthy
Hey Josh. I would just like to ask you something about the Nike Premier 1 and 3. When you first reviewed the Premier 1, you said that the boot runs a half size small so you chose to use a US 9.5 which was perfect for you. Now, when you review the Nike Premier 3, you still chose a US 9.5 but now you state in the video that it runs true to size. Was there a change in the shoe last or tooling of the Nike Premier from 1 to 3 that now a US 9.5 is true to size wherein previously it was a half size small?
I think he has just got used to the half size extra premier 3 is 100% true to size and has a lot of stretching potential.
I live in Cali and can’t get them shipped. Oddly enough tho I was able to get a pair of copas shipped to me
Update, I was able to get a pair delivered to me from Nike. Maybe the Nov sale madness let my order slip through
how do they compare to the 2nd gen. is there even a diff?
The Insole is the Hypervenom 1 and 2 Insole 😅😂
swear to god nike premier is the boots they can make the best
Out of these, Copa Mundials, Copa sense .1, and New Balance 442 which would you take?
NB 442 v2 Pro would be my pick 👍
Absolute best booth in terms of comfort. Nothing beats that quality for this price point 👉
Would those dg be good to play in artificial grass only?
Do a Review on the Puma king 21 it the classic.
I just bought these in an outlet shop for 40€. They look great but when playing they hurt my big toe a lot. Will the leather stretch on that area or do I need to trade it ? I’ve worn it for 3 times now and still hurts (and yes I have the right size, half a size up its already too big)
I had premier 2's and had the same issue. Ridiculously tight toe box. Never resolved for me. I don't have wide feet either.
I love mine it only took abt 1week or 5 sessions to break them in and I like my boots tight and I wear a size down and they stretched out well
@@rsouchereau thanks! Might go and return it.
Its almost impossible to wear for long periods of time comfortably. Its a wide boot but low volume in the toe box. Big flaw in my opinion.
Rather have a tight boot in the heel or midfoot but nail pain is the worst
I have these in my size and wearing them for 5+ games. No issues. Do you wear grip socks? Makes a difference even if not his. They sell others. My fit doesn't move around. This is my favorite boot in last 3 years and I've had the top end from Nike and Adidas.
Do futsal boots
Can you do a review on Umbro alchemist
These yellow-black Nike boots 3rd row from the top, 2nd right. What are they?
T90 not sure specific name but it’s t90
I would even say that for me after playing in both the mizuno morelia neo beta 3(mij) < nike premier 2 (I havent tried the 3 yet )
Are you the same size in neo as the premier?
@@zoomgallygally No, 41 EU in the premiers and 40,5 EU in the neo
@@andrzejgrund211 thanks I am usually half a size up from the neos too so I'm probably a 9 UK in the premiers, I'm 8.5 UK in mizuno
You cant really hate a Ben 10 inspired colourway
who do you think is gonna win the world cup josh?
World Cup time.
Who’s taking it Josh?
I've only seen Premier League referees wear Premiers. Some other times they use some other blacked out boot that I don't recognize, maybe Tiempos or something.
are refs sponsored to wear certain boots?
Hate to say it but I've gone back to Premier 2s over my wave cup legends! 😮
What made you go back and set aside the wave cup legends?
@@mathurinkerbouchard8931 slipper like feel. More relaxed and feels natural...
@@ayske1 I see. Well, that definitely is a very good reason. Thanks for the reply
These or mizuno morelia II Elite?
I laugh at those that spend $300 on speed boots... then play in sludge mud every weekend
anyone know where i can buy size 12 tiempo legend 7?
Prolly on goat
I am selling size 11.5 tiempo legend 7 if interested
tiempo legendo pro or tiempo premier?
Depende en lo que buscas los tiempos son un taco más moderno que tiene más technological el Premier es un taco más clásico
Isn’t this just a Nike Copa Mundial?
More modern than a Copa in terms of shape, and soleplate design/materials used. Granted Copa Mundials are better overall quality and use better leather, but are also $40 more expensive. The Premier is basically a modern take on the Copa.
Those predators have to be uglyiest boots of all time
I like these because i feel like r10
I don’t recommend tbh they overstretched with me
I got this boots , size 10 in us too big and 9 1/2 way too small , the lock down in the heel not great feels like is slipping out so not working for me
Nah. I'm same size. Need grip socks. Even if you don't buy his. These are great boots. My foot doesn't move at all with grip socks. And if you say you have grip socks I call bs.
Will never buy another pair of boots
No way
Yes way. Highly recommend these boots.
This or puma future 2.4
Try Asics Ds Light 4
@@power279 wtf is that

Brooo come on the other day you said they where amazing come on anyone that has wore a tiempo premier knows they are better then legends and thats facts love you since day one but come on you know better
