The Nike Total 90 III “Pearl White” Returns From The Archive Pre-Distressed

Nike brings back a cult classic with a twist. The Total 90 III “Pearl White” returns, but this isn’t a polished reissue; it’s made to look like it’s been pulled straight from a worn-in kit bag.

The signature quilted toe box, offset lacing, and iconic “90” logo are all back. This time, though, the leather upper arrives with a cracked, aged effect. The distressing gives it a vintage, game-worn vibe, like they’ve seen years of action.

A subtle two-tone palette coats the upper, blending shades of Pearl White with lighter linings for depth. Contrasting Shadow Brown hits land on the Swooshes, lace panels, and the 90 badge. Down below, the gum outsole gets a dark brown finish with speckled textures thanks to Nike Grind.

Underneath the scuffs and cracks, there’s speculation that another colour layer might be hiding below, like we’ve seen before on the Air Force 1 and Dunk Low waiting to show through with wear. If true, every pair will evolve in its own way. Dropping on August 8th, we can find out in just a few days time. Keep it locked to secure your size when they drop!
