Nike’s gift to the grassroots game returns for a third generation with an even sleeker take on the classic silhouette. The stitching on the plush K-leather has been tweaked slightly to create specific cushioning zones at the instep and outstep, while a “Premier” overlay tab on the Swoosh combines with embossed branding on the heel for a premium look – it is the Premier, after all. The biggest change, though, is up to you. Nike know lots of players prefer to chop off the tongue, so they’ve added a dotted cutting line to help you keep things neat and preserve the fit if you do decide to ditch it. Tongue or no tongue, the Premier remains the no-nonsense boot for no-nonsense players, ready to dominate pitches around the world once more.
