The Nike Total 90 III “University Red” emerges as a women’s-exclusive release, reconnecting with Nike’s early-2000s football era. The bold red upper, paired with gum brown and metallic gold accents, immediately recalls the Total 90’s original on-pitch presence. Still, this version clearly shifts toward lifestyle wear.

That evolution is most noticeable in the lace setup. Unlike traditional football tooling, the updated lacing softens the silhouette and adds a refined touch. It subtly separates this pair from its performance past without erasing its identity.

Key design elements remain untouched. Quilted uppers reference classic strike zones, while the radial outsole pattern preserves the model’s football DNA.

The Nike Total 90 III “University Red” releases Spring 2026 for $115. Pairs will be available through Nike.com and select retailers.
