Nike introduces a new tonal iteration of the Total 90 III shoe in a Metallic Platinum colorway palette. It is joining the roster for the Summer 2025 season and is doused entirely in all-chrome uppers. This forms a neat look and is then detailed with touches of grey.
The grey is seen on the panel Swoosh branding, the toebox Swoosh branding accent, the circular 90 panel logo, and motifs on the heel and ankle component. The bright upper is then joined by a muted base foundation to ground it all. It has a white and grey midsole and outsole base. To round it all out and secure the foot in place are the grey laces for a cohesive look.
