Nike Total 90 III Gets a Bold "Bred Gradient" Colorway

 

Nike continues to bring back the energy of the early 2000s with the return of the iconic Total 90 III. This time, the football-inspired sneaker arrives in a fresh “Bred Gradient” colorway, combining classic black and red tones with a modern twist.

The upper features a smooth transition from “University Red” at the forefoot to black at the midfoot on the lateral side, creating a striking gradient effect. On the medial side, where the signature 90 logo sits, the forefoot stays fully red while black covers the rest of the panel. A gum medium brown sole complements the bold upper, giving the shoe a balanced finish.

Nike has been carefully reintroducing the Total 90 III with a mix of nostalgic designs and new updates, letting the silhouette shine without relying heavily on collaborations. The “Bred Gradient” colorway is yet another example of this approach, appealing to both longtime fans and new sneaker enthusiasts.

While Nike has not officially announced a release date yet, the “Bred Gradient” Total 90 III is expected to launch in Fall 2025 via Nike SNKRS and select retailers.
