So glad you pointed out the thin soleplate. Maybe it's only because my arches are aged, but FG/AG boots with soleplates that bend like that at the midfoot cause terrible foot fatigue for me. There also seems to be some factory variation with these boots. The white with navy accents colorway I have (released in 2022, I think?) had stiffer leather than other Premiers I've handled at brick-and-mortar retailers.
I currently play in a pair of those. I can confirm that this review is by no means far fetched. I loved them right out of the box and took me no time to break them in (I first wore them at a pick up game and scored two goals). Now after over a month I can feel them somewhat wear down like cardboard…. …I somehow admit I still love them
I have used my Legends now for about a year as a keeper and as a forward sub near the end of the games. And I love this boot. It was amazingly comfortable but the studs were a bit on the smaller end leaving struggling for grip when wanting to take off running or on a rainy day it just wasn't there. I feel that if they made some small modifications it would be a solid throwback boot. I wore Tiempos all through college and love them. But loosing the K leather really has changed the overall feel of the boot.
Another great video! Love the colour on these, just amazing. I wish the boot hadn't fallen off quite so much in some areas. That soleplate bend is rough.
Have two pairs. Both excellent for AG and natural grass. Loving them more than my extremely expensive Tiempo Legend 10 Elites. They’re so soft, versatile and still lightweight. Amazing choice especially if on a budget.
Maybe its the perfect time for you to check out the new copa gloro 2. Heard its better than the previous gloros and might be as good (though not as light) as the 442.
I knew this review was coming. I have some 1st gen Prems in the gold color way and these and the difference between the 1st gen the Premier 3s is night and day. I actually prefer to use my 1st gens even tho I’ve wore them down. I will sell my Premier 3s and see maybe hunt down some top tier Copas on eBay…
I just bought a pair. Even after the review. Review is spot on. Very disappointed with my pair. I was looking for a wide footed boot. Nut my heels are very thin. Massive slippage.
The premier 4’s are coming out soon! Maybe they do a huge revamp on this cleat! I wish they made it with better materials n actually took the time to perfect the old tiempo look even if the boot ended up costing $150+ , I have the premier 2 in the burgundy color n I use em here n there but bcuz I mainly use vapors n sometimes want an OG feel so I wear the premiers
I own a pair of Nike Premier 1s. They still fit nicely although I do wish I went w/ a half size up. The thin soleplate is the killer of this boot. Had they thicken up the soleplate, this boot would be as competitive as the New Balance 442.
At this price point in australia and new zealand asics lethal flash it 2, lethal gel 19 and lethal tigreor 3 (on sale) have much better sole plates and tech to protect feet whilst still being leather.
i have a black pair of premier 3 TFs and use them for hardground (sand) and older AG pitches here and i absolutely love them. had to cut the tongue tho because of the slapping sound when you juggle or strike the ball. i appear to have the perfect foot shape for them, because i get 0 slip and they molded really nicely to my feet. i think the TF version runs a half size longer tho, because im usually a 9.5 but in those i go US10. in store i tried the FG and the SG-pro versions of the premier3 and the soleplate just feels very cheap and bendy. especially for an SG model where the ground will just be giving way, the soleplate needs to be really stiff. i have the same issue with the tekela v4 pro SG version, which uses a modified 442v2 soleplate and that is also just bad
I actually rate Premier 3 TF better than Premier 3 FG. I also noticed the TF runs long, whereas the FG seems to run a quarter-size short. They're definitely made in different factories.
I so wanted to like these - I bought the all silver colorway. Played on AG and felt just slow, compared to the phantom gx and tiempo elite AGs i usually wear. Didnt play with them again. Had also bought these beautiful golden ones, but returned them soon after. Nike is just missing a decent leather boot right now..
I have the blue ones and the gold ones and they are night and day different. I love the blue pair. I don't care much about the sole plate. I'm 51 and glacially slow. But the gold pair has terrible support. I roll over the outside of the sole plate. I was very disappointed and will not be buying premiers in the future.
They look good and yeah...that was about it about these. I just did not like the material of the studs? Platicish? Is that a word? But ya Somewhat slippery and made me hesitate in some plays. They were just not for Seattle's morning weather(sightly wet, foggy and etc). I went back to my mizuno morelia neo beta:)
I don’t know if I should get these because I only like thin boots where i can feel the ball. But because it’s leather I think it’ll be too thin. Could you pls tell me if it’s thin or not.
And BTW I noticed you didn't compare these at all to the copa gloro which is its direct competitor at that price point. I tried the older gloro model recently and premier was wayy better boot right out of box
I have tried both the Gloro 2 and premier within the last two months. Out of the box comfort with the Gloro is miles ahead of the premier for my foot shape. Almost regret getting the premiers and wish I had just gotten an extra pair of adidas
I haven't tried gloro 2. Just first gloro the heel lock down on that boot was actually criminal. I got serious heel blisters after 1 session. Premier just fits my foot. And I'd always been adidas over nike before that.
At that price point, the Gloro (at least the 1st gen) is pretty poor - I'd say even more so than the Premier 3... I haven't tested the new Gloro but I've heard decent things so far
Not to ask so much questions but it seems like you know. I wabted tk nnow if these would be better than the phantom gx luna academy or the gx2 academy because those are my options right now since im looking to but nike another option is the tiempo academy
@@duaneswaby622 Just got the Mizuno Morelia IV Neo non beta, in a half size down through Tokyo Football. They’re easily better than the premier I’s and never thought I’d find a boot I prefer!
But but but...what about all the people who say you're supposed to have a super flexible boot?? 😂 Also, I specifically remember Nike thought they'd completely kill the Copa Mundial when these first came out. So much so that there was an actual picture of the Copa Mundial in the Nike catalogue they gave to retailers. Safe to say that didn't happen. Those these have always sold well. Top stuff man, enjoyable watch as always.
Bought these and played with them for hours and wore them around the house, left them in the sun etc etc gave up on them because the heel structure, stiffness and low profile totally destroyed my heel with blisters! Horrible boot in practicality which is a shame given the design is beautiful
had mine for over 4 months and really love them; perfect for my feet. amazing review 🤜🏼 the leather in the blue ones are insanely better but i have that version that you are holding in the black and white regular colorway and really like what they offer
Where did you purchase these, Noah? Have come to the conclusion your ones must be fakes, based on the bend in that soul plate. I have 2 pairs of these and it’s impossible to bend it like you can with yours. Yours unfortunately look cheaply made and not genuine.
A good player who grew up watching n playing soccer would never say one bad thing about these cleats . ⚽🎉🎉#R10 🎉🎉 ⚽ I cant wait for mine to get here 🎉🎉🎉#JogaBonito 🎉🎉🎉
This review is a crock of crap , it’s about how it feels for you not what this dude think’s , I wear these and they feel amazing all around! Guys don’t get much into this review best bang for your buck!
No they definitely will not. Usually plantar fasciitis is caused by being overweight. When I cut down the pounds my plantar went away. I only wear Premier 3’s and my plantar hasn’t returned.
@@skacel7 plantar fasciitis can be caused by that but not necessarily just being overweight lol. I’ve had plantar fasciitis on and off twice before and it was from 1) playing too much 2) the boots and surfaces I was playing on. While the premiers might not be the sole reason you get PF, that flimsy soleplate would 100% contribute to it. For context, I’m in shape and weigh 145-150, so it’s not an overweight thing lol
So glad you pointed out the thin soleplate. Maybe it's only because my arches are aged, but FG/AG boots with soleplates that bend like that at the midfoot cause terrible foot fatigue for me.

So weird I was genuinely just looking at getting a pair 🤣 it’s like you know!
Great review mate
👀 Crazy how that works out!
I just bought a pair. Even after the review. Review is spot on. Very disappointed with my pair. I was looking for a wide footed boot. Nut my heels are very thin. Massive slippage.
Sorry to hear that mate - such a shame aye! I'd go for an Asics boot instead 😎

Yeah the thin soleplate really does me in, especially on TF or AG pitches...
I’ve had the premier 2 and premier 3 and I will always prefer the premier 2 because the kangaroo leather was just 👌
🫡 Absolutely mate
One of the better shoe reviews
Thank you mate! 🤝 More where that came from!
I think the adidas counterpart of these is the gloro, which is a lot heavier and thicker and not necessarily as good imo.
That's fair mate!
At this price point in australia and new zealand asics lethal flash it 2, lethal gel 19 and lethal tigreor 3 (on sale) have much better sole plates and tech to protect feet whilst still being leather.
100% agreed mate 💯
hey noah, loved the video man. i wanted to ask, would you say that the base black and white premier is better than the gold ones ?
They're the same 🤝 just a different color
i have a black pair of premier 3 TFs and use them for hardground (sand) and older AG pitches here and i absolutely love them. had to cut the tongue tho because of the slapping sound when you juggle or strike the ball. i appear to have the perfect foot shape for them, because i get 0 slip and they molded really nicely to my feet. i think the TF version runs a half size longer tho, because im usually a 9.5 but in those i go US10.

Oh man, this hurt.
I have one of the earliest Premier 3's and I LOVE them. How'd they ruin such a simple boot
Agreed mate! Such a shame

Wow! That's awesome they are so different. I'm glad you like the blue pair though! At that price point, it's worth looking elsewhere for sure
Is jt better than a basic academy level shoe like a mercuriel or a tiempo academy
yes
Lining review incoming?
How’s the width on those white turf shoes you got from them?
Yep! Coming soon!
I really love these boots but the colorways dictate the leather quality and the sole plate is great for feel and harder ground.
Fair enough!
yay! new vid
😈
Got them for 45€ mainly for training but thanks for the accurate review.
Nice!

The Mizunos are class mate! Love to hear you're in Seattle too, that's my hometown! 🩵
if you were chosing, predator tf vs morelia neo beta elite, which one is better for you?
Predator mate 🤝
Is the tf version lower quality than the fg one because they are different prices
Maybe? 🤔 haven’t tried the TF model
I don’t know if I should get these because I only like thin boots where i can feel the ball. But because it’s leather I think it’ll be too thin. Could you pls tell me if it’s thin or not.
Definitely not thin
@@NoahCavanaugh but are they too thick at the point where you can’t feel the ball when

Are the new Copa gloros better than these;
Haven't tried the new gloro mate, so can't say!
out of context but do you know when new vapor 16 colorways will drop i don’t like the current colorways
Google "boot calendar". There is a website with a list of upcoming releases.
Probably soon mate 👍
Not to ask so much questions but it seems like you know. I wabted tk nnow if these would be better than the phantom gx luna academy or the gx2 academy because those are my options right now since im looking to but nike another option is the tiempo academy
I'd probably go for the Premier mate
can i wear this if im playing in ecnl? i need to change my vapor 15
You can do whatever you want! I'd definitely try something else though
3 month review Mizuno 👍🏼
Maybe!
Absolutely no point to this boot without leather! It’s a shame what has happened to this silo. The first generation was amazing
For sure mate!
100%. Still using a pair of first gen’s that have only just separated 😢
@@danielfay1661 glue those bad boys like you’ve never glued before! 😂

@@danielfay1661 great choice!
The TF ones are good with the lace cover cut off
Definitely will have to try those out!
Should I get these or the puma king pro? I can get the king pro for cheaper but I wanna know which is better
Probably the Premier actually

@@NoahCavanaugh Same!
Would it work on turf
Yep
The soleplate too thin for AG
Depends on who you are! If you prefer a thicker soleplate, then go for a TF model!
It caused me blister around my both heels.
Dang! Sorry to hear that mate
I am sooo sad I picked these up on a whim and agree, even tho I don’t want to 😆🥺
😅
Mine completely separated after 7 matches over 2 months and completely threw my money down the drain
YIKES... That's what I'm saying these are no good anymore 🤨
I wish i knew it before i bought it 😢, i recently purchased copa mundials so is it good?@NoahCavanaugh
what about new adidas goloro 2 versus premier 3?
Haven't tried the new Gloro mate
ronaldinho boots 🔥
Definitely the color! R10's boots were WAYYYY better than this
Bought these and played with them for hours and wore them around the house, left them in the sun etc etc gave up on them because the heel structure, stiffness and low profile totally destroyed my heel with blisters! Horrible boot in practicality which is a shame given the design is beautiful
Bummer mate! Such a shame
1 month reviews are good to watch. But why for a boot that nobody cares about? And this is the second 1 month review for premier.
I appreciate that mate! Haha my views would say otherwise 😂 It's absolutely crushing right now!
For a month review those cleats look clean af 😂
That's what happens when you clean them every once in a while 😎
Mine had total sole separation after just 4 months playing on both natural and ag. Don't waste your hard earned £$€ on these boots😤
I also made this error. People recommend them for AG because of the conicals, but there's more to an AG boot than just having conical studs.
That is not a bad time for Nikes tbh. I've had Tiempos seperate in a few weeks.
Yikes! Sorry to hear that mate 😬
Just an FYI. You can get a replacement from Nike as you have a 1 year warranty on items that are damaged without intention.
Worth checking out.
@@adamu8955 one pair unfortunately i had bought from Unisport which seperated after 6-7 months and they declined a replacement
