The Nike Atelier Total 90 is a lifestyle footwear capsule developed by Nike Atelier in collaboration with Victor Wembanyama, reinterpreting the T90 Laser III football boot for everyday wear. The capsule transforms the performance silhouette into an off-field design while preserving its distinctive structure and streamlined profile. The release also includes a bespoke LenoWoven jacket constructed from a specialised cotton yarn adaptation derived from material technology originally developed for Nike Football footwear.
The collection continues Nike Atelier's programme of creating craft-focused products with elite athletes following earlier collaborations featuring French footballer Désiré Doué and tennis player Jannik Sinner. The capsule is available for preorder from July 20 through The Broken Arm in Paris, Dover Street Market Paris, Nike Soho, Nike House of Innovation New York and SNKRS in North America.
