Nike introduces a look at its latest tonal iteration of the Total 90 III sneaker model with the launch of the Sail colorway palette. The silhouette takes the former football cleat model with a traditional leather construction paired with suede along the upper. The stitching is seen across the shoe with a quilted design at the toe boxes.
Other details include the embroidered logo in the Swoosh branding motif and the 90' at the medial and lateral panels. This continues at the heel and toe box with an embossed 'total90' emblem that is placed on the ankle. The model rests on top of a Gum midsole and outsole for a rich brown contrasting hue. It is secured with white laces over the forefoot.
