Joining in on the Tiempo’s 30th anniversary celebrations, the Nike Premier III gets suitably suited up in a “Metalic Summit White/Mystic Green” colourway.
In case you’ve missed it, the Tiempo – Nike’s longest lasting silo – is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, and so far it has taken on two premium-looking colourways with the ‘Emerald’ edition landing first, quickly followed up by the ‘Pearl’ edition. Now, the Premier III gets in on the act, combining colour elements from both of the Tiempo looks (but mostly the ‘Pearl’ look) for a “Metalic Summit White/Mystic Green” colourway.
As any fan of the Premier – Nike’s grassroots champion – will know, it’s a spiritual descendant of the Tiempo, taking certain qualities (comfort and classic feel) and reinterpreting them at a lower price point for lower league pitches. One of the beautiful things about the Premier has always been the range of colourways in which it is available, and it always acknowledges its roots, recently with the “Black/White/Amarillo” colourway that nodded to the OG Tiempo from 1994.
The Premier III boasts a premium cow leather upper, featuring an altered stitch pattern through the forefoot to create specific cushioning zones at the instep and outstep. On the heel is a beautifully embossed “Nike Premier” logo, while the over-sized Swoosh rides down the lateral side, much as it does on its spiritual sibling, the Tiempo. Then there’s the tongue. Some love it, some not so much, and Nike appreciate that, placing a dotted cut line along its base, just incase you want to lop it off.
