When was the Nike Total 90 originally released?
The Total 90 range was introduced in the early 2000s and quickly established itself as the top model for attacking footballers. The Total 90 III model, which was launched around 2004, became world-famous for its striking design and innovative technology. The "White Gold" colourway is taken directly from this era and was already highly sought-after back then.

Why are football boots so trendy right now?
Whether it's Nike Tiempo or now the Total 90 – the so-called footballcore trend is bringing classic football silhouettes to the streets. Why? Because they look sporty and clean, often fit snugly on the foot and have their own unique flair thanks to their history. The Nike Total 90 is no exception. It takes the tech aesthetic of yesteryear and brings it into the present day. Not to mention that Travis Scott gave the T90 even more hype with his Coachella performance.
