Earlier this season, Nike’s iconic Total 90 III made its grand return as a lifestyle sneaker. And while it may have swapped out its legendary studs for a more street-friendly setup, drops like the upcoming Nike Total 90 III FC Barcelona still wear their football DNA proudly, paying homage to the Beautiful Game in every stitch.
Like the OG, this pair is draped in smooth, quilted leather that feels as premium as it looks. The silhouette’s signature asymmetrical lacing system is back, alongside the oversized “90” debossed on the medial sidewall – a subtle nod to one of the most celebrated eras in soccer footwear. But unlike any Total 90 III that we’ve ever seen before, this one arrives in bold Hyper Royal and Team Red tones, inspired directly by the official colors of Futbol Club Barcelona.

Because this is built for city pavements rather than grass pitches, you won’t find any cleats underfoot. Instead, there’s a super flat gum rubber sole that’s cushy, grippy, and perfect for all-day wear. And while Barça’s crest doesn’t make an appearance, the color blocking alone is enough to signal your allegiance – or at least your appreciation – for one of the greatest clubs in history.
The Nike Total 90 III FC Barcelona is one of the many Total 90 IIIs releasing this year. Scheduled to drop in Fall 2025, it will be available via Nike and select retailers both online and in-store for $110. For your best shot at securing a pair, make sure you download the Sole Retriever mobile app to stay up-to-date on the latest releases, raffles, news, and more from the world of sneakers and streetwear.
