Matt Varga Utilizing a strategy typically seen in the hallways of their German rival, Nike sent soccer fanatics into a tizzy with the announcement of the Nike Total 90 III SP retro, bringing the iconic on-pitch style back in lifestyle shape. So far, that anticipation has kept as the previewed colorways have hit the shelves: many retailer’s launches were instant sell-outs, and they’ve been scooped up entirely from official Nike channels. Only time will tell if the heat around this silhouette will continue, and an all-black adornment on the Total 90 III SP should be a suitable test case in these early stages.
While the Swoosh has already checked off a black-dominant pair so far, the shoe at hand removes the patent gloss from the upper and leans into a monochromatic atmosphere throughout the profile. Opting for a matte counterpart allows a bit more of the shoe’s natural texture to shine through, particularly fitting given the embroidered Swoosh and similarly crochet-like laces that land with this pair. A dark grey collar and midsole round out the stealthy touches, while a gum sole underfoot equally connects to the brand’s skate history and evokes trademark touches from some other on-pitch models that became lifestyle classics.
The Nike Total 90 III SP in “Black/Gum” should be hitting NDC and partnering retailers in the coming months, commanding a $100 retail price. Keep our Sneaker Release Dates close by for additional updates as they come. In the meantime, enjoy detailed angles embedded below.
