Here we follow the evolution of the iconic Nike T90 Series, starting with the latest remakes and iterations and ending up with the very first boot of the silo. T90 was thought of as the power boot offered alongside the ‘speed’ Mercurials’ and the ‘touch’ Tiempo Legend. It was the model that preceded the equally memorable Nike Hypervenom Phantom.

T90 III Remake (2025)
As the early months of 2025 solidified the return of the T90III as an indoor lifestyle boot, Nike released a group of light-coloured boots for the silo. the first one was arguably the most active, displaying a colour-block design comprised of the gum-coloured forefoot band, greyish-brown T90 medial panel and a white base. The second had a straightforward cut-white on almost every part of the boot except on the medial panel, which was metallic gold. The last offered the simplistic beauty of the off-white Light Orewood, which was perfect for the black accents offered by the Swoosh, the sole and the T90 branding.
Part of the T90III revival in 2025 were the Safety Orange pair and the Dynamic Yellow one. The former had a rather matte finish, which was understated in terms of how it connected to the concept of performance x lifestyle indoor football boots.. On the other hand, the latter shone with a striking metallic gloss that made the boot appear golden.
While the silo did come back in action in 2025, it wasn’t a full remake as the boot was dedicated to small-sided games and lifestyle function. But there was no denying that everyone missed that stitched and puffy forefoot, the off-centred lacing and the bold 90 logo on the medial side. T90 III’s revival arrived in three boots all at once. There was that black with the 90 branding on a silver circle patch, then the silver with the said circle in red, and last the classy bordeaux with the 90 within a circular outline (both in silver accent). ‘total90III’ signed off around the lateral side of the heel.
It was debuted by Edgar Davids in November 2024 during the Secreto Maximus event (a call back to the popular ‘Secret Tournament’ Nike commercial in 2002). He wore quite a different one, which was predominantly dark grey but covered the medial side in white to bring out the 90 logo outline.
T90 Laser 1 Remake (2019)
T90 Laser fanatics rejoiced in 2019 when Nike brought an almost one-to-one remake of the yellow with black T90 Laser 1. The upper was what it was when the boot was released in 2007. The only change Nike made was the utilisation of the Hyper Reactive soleplate for the Hypervenom Phantom 3. Only 2000 pairs were made available.
T90 Laser 4 (2012)
The last generation of the T90, before it gave way to the another iconic Nike silo in the Hypervenom, had a streamlined look thanks to the Hyperfuse technology, which had the upper materials fused to create a seamless feel. That meant that the adaptive shield technology, in the case of the Laser IV, had a bit of a flat, fin-like structural design.
T90 Laser 3 (2011)
T90 Laser III used the Teijin material for its synthetic leather upper, and noticeably pushed the shield technology to the side. Its iteration of the shield technology centred on blocks of pads confined within a space of a nylon web. It was worth noting that the overall look had some similarity with that of the T90s before the Laser era.
T90 Laser 2 (2008)
You can be forgiven if you didn’t find that much difference between the Laser 1 and the Laser 2. The latter simply restructured the Shot Shield zone to flow down the sides of the forefoot area. But Laser 2 did actually provide options to have either the synthetic version or the K-leather one, as well as a special edition water-resistant model.
T90 Laser 1 (2007)
For some, their memory of the Nike T90 was that it had a Shot Shield zone on the instep of the arch of the foot. Comprised of foam and rubber, the Shield zone was the silo’s attempt to reinterpret aiding shot power and accuracy. All of it was thanks to the birth of the T90 Laser 1 way back 2007. The yellow with black Laser 1 was remade by Nike in 2019.
T90 Supremacy (2006)
A T90 with an uninterrupted medial panel and seam trims along its edges? That definitely was the T90 Supremacy generation launched in 2006. Very little distinguished the Supremacy from the T90 III except for that redefined medial look.
T90 III (2004)
Nike aesthetically ushered the T90 of the early 2000s into the new era by dropping the fold-over tongue in favour of a bold T90 branding on the instep of its third generation boot. As far as the material went, T90 III backed the synthetic leather upper with mesh for breathability purposes. Phylon was added to the sole structure to remove stud pressure and increase underfoot comfort. Nike brought back the boot in 2025 as a small-sided and lifestyle-focused footwear.
T90 II (2002)
Tech-wise, T90 II was very similar to its predecessor, and had a foam insert to aid shot accuracy. But it arguably gave the pre-2000 T90s its iconic look when it coloured the synthetic leather panels along the off-centre lacing system differently than the rest of the upper. That created a memorable aesthetic of an even-more cleaner striking surface.
T90 I (2000)
It all began by the turn of the millennium when Nike offered a boot meant to focus on power. It did so with the first-ever T90 that introduced the off-centred lacing system and a fold-over tongue to cover the laces. This cleaned up the striking surface, which was comprised by a pattern of grooves and ridges from its synthetic leather upper. T90 I was also one of the earliest boots to integrate the Air Zoom technology in football.
