While we pride ourselves on providing you cutting edge updates on the most important development in sneakers, an undeniable drawback of our approach is having to cobble together collections piece by piece. When Morse code first dotted a Nike sneaker via official images, we had no way of knowing it’d become a sprawling capsule, again the case as the Nike Total 90 embraces the concept.

To date, we’ve seen an Air Force 1, a Killshot Tiempo, and a Cortez Tiempo with this touch, each delivering refined coloring in the process. The inclusion of the Total 90 here makes the budding hypothesis that this was a soccer collection nigh-undeniable, continuing those hallmarks for one of the Swoosh’s buzzier football representatives. On top of a studious dark brown through the upper, darkened translucent soles and faux-aged off-white laces continue the refined air that we’ve come to expect from this capsule. If you’d like to try your hand at decrypting, look for the Morse code string on the rear heel counter (spoiler: N I K E is what you’ll find upon solving.)

The Nike Total 90 III SP “Morse Code” is expected to hit shelves digital and physical as a part of Beaverton’s Holiday 2025 releases. Check official images included below.
