This year, as Tiempo – Nike's epitome of endurance – marks its jubilant 30th anniversary, the stage is all set for Nike's Premier III, adorned splendidly in brilliant hues of a "Metallic Summit White/Mystic Green" color palette. If you've lost track, the Tiempo – a legacy spanning three decades – honors its anniversary this year, boasting two sublime color renditions. The 'Emerald' variant made its flashy entrance first, rapidly chased by the charming ‘Pearl’ edition. Premier III now steps into the limelight, with a color concoction extracting elements from both former Tiempo renditions – though it's the 'Pearl' that truly shines through in the "Metallic Summit White/Mystic Green" palette.
The Premier, a darling to Nike's grassroots enthusiasts, has always been recognized as the Tiempo's spiritual successor. Not only does it inherit distinct traits like comfort and a timeless appeal, but it also masterfully adapts them to more affordable alternatives, specifically crafted for the lower league turfs. One enchanting aspect of the Premier has always been the diverse color repertoire it offers – a tribute to its origin, as evident in the recent "Black/White/Amarillo” hues, tipping an appreciative hat to the inaugural Tiempo of 1994.
The Premier III proudly parades a lush, premium cow leather upper, with a geometrically refreshed stitch pattern across the forefoot to design targeted cushioning pockets at the instep and outstep. The heel brandishes a gracefully embossed "Nike Premier" logo. The iconic, oversized swoosh embellishes the lateral side, akin to its spiritual predecessor. Just as a soul appreciates a kindred spirit, Nike's Premier III finds its spiritual kin in Tiempo. Then there's the big chat - the tongue. Opinions differ; it's a love-n-hate kinda thing. Understandably, Nike embraces this discourse. They've incorporated a dotted line at the tongue's base, offering you the chance to snip it off if you fancy.
