FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for playing soccer or other sports?

No, the Nike Total 90 3 SP 'Bordeaux' is a lifestyle shoe. While it draws inspiration from a classic soccer boot, it is reimagined for everyday street style and casual wear, not for athletic performance or competitive sports.

What material is the upper made from?

The upper of the Nike Total 90 3 SP 'Bordeaux' is crafted from premium leather, providing a rich look and feel, especially in its distinctive Bordeaux color.

How should I clean my Bordeaux leather shoes?

For routine cleaning, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or to address marks, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner. Always avoid machine washing and harsh chemicals to protect the leather.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Nike lifestyle shoes generally run true to size. However, due to the asymmetrical lacing and leather material, there might be a slight break-in period where the leather adapts to your foot for optimal comfort.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

As these shoes are made of leather, it's advisable to avoid heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions. While some water exposure is fine, consider applying a leather protectant spray to enhance water resistance if you anticipate wearing them in damp environments.

What is the significance of the 'Total 90' name?

The 'Total 90' name refers to Nike's iconic soccer boot line first introduced in the early 2000s. This specific model, the Total 90 3 SP, is a modern reinterpretation of that heritage, adapting its design cues for contemporary streetwear.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable around the arch/side.

The asymmetrical lacing system might feel different initially. Try loosening the laces, especially in the midfoot area, and re-tie them to a more relaxed fit. Over time, the leather will break in and conform to your foot.

Scuffs or minor scratches appear on the Bordeaux leather.

For light scuffs, a soft, damp cloth can often buff them out. For deeper scratches, a specialized leather scratch repair cream or polish in a matching color can help conceal them. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

The leather appears dull or dry.

Apply a high-quality leather conditioner. This will moisturize the leather, restore its luster, and help prevent cracking. Follow the conditioner product's instructions carefully for the best results.

Shoes are squeaking when I walk.

This can sometimes be caused by friction between parts of the shoe or the insole. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then replacing the insole. If the squeak persists, it might be an issue with the sole, which may require professional assessment.

The shoes are difficult to keep clean, especially the outsole.

Regularly brush off loose dirt from the outsole using a stiff brush. For more stubborn grime, use a mild soap solution and an old toothbrush or specialized sneaker cleaner, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. For the upper, follow the leather care instructions carefully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup

Your Nike Total 90 3 SP 'Bordeaux' shoes come ready to wear. The only 'setup' required is lacing them to your preferred comfort and fit. The asymmetrical lacing system is a key design feature. Take time to adjust the laces evenly across your foot to ensure a snug yet comfortable feel. This system is designed to contour to the foot's natural shape, but personal adjustment is key.

Compatibility

  • Jeans (distressed, slim-fit, or relaxed)
  • Chinos or cargo pants
  • Joggers or stylish track pants
  • Hoodies, graphic tees, and light jackets
  • Environments: Ideal for urban settings, casual social events, and everyday wear where comfort and style are prioritized. Avoid harsh outdoor conditions or demanding physical activities that could damage the leather.

Care Instructions

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your leather shoes, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather upper regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust.
  2. Deep Cleaning: For stubborn marks or dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner. Apply a small amount to a clean cloth and gently rub the affected area. Always test on an inconspicuous spot first.
  3. Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather soft, prevent cracking, and maintain its rich color. Follow the product instructions for application.
  4. Protection: Consider using a leather protectant spray to create a barrier against water and stains, especially before wearing them in unpredictable weather.
  5. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture when not in use.
  6. Avoid: Do not machine wash or machine dry. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive brushes, or excessive scrubbing, as these can damage the leather and finishes.
  7. Outsole Care: Clean the black outsole with a brush and water to remove dirt and debris, maintaining grip and appearance.
