This "Light Crimson" Retro Might Be Nike's Best Total 90 III Yet

Nike Football's popular Total 90 III indoor silhouette has just appeared in what might go down as one of its best colorways of all-time.

Officially clad in a "Light Crimson/White/Black" color scheme, the special-edition offering sees glossy ruby-colored elements across the bulk of its decades-old build. Profile Swooshes, fold-over tongues, and the asymmetric lacing area, however, deviate in a contrasting, silver-reminiscent tone, creating an eye-catching split aesthetic atop the design once co-signed by Wayne Rooney and Luís Figo.

Every nod to Total 90 throughout the sneaker stands out across a red or off white backdrop, harkening back to the early 2000s. With fever surrounding the 2026 World Cup™ only increasing, it's probable the "Light Crimson" pair will be accompanied by other options don in similar "split" finishes—a nod to football boots of yesteryear.

Enjoy detailed shots of the latest Total 90 III below. The pair is available now via Nike.com.
