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.
