As 2009 drew to a close, Nike and Footy Boots revealed the last major football boot release of the year, the Total 90 Laser III.

The colourway is, shall we say, distinctive. Anyone wearing the Electric Green / Red / Black football boots are certainly going to stand out. And the re-design of the ‘shot shield is another massive talking point.

Indeed, Nike insisted that during development, their designers broke down the biomechanics of striking the ball into specific elements to help them gain even deeper understanding of the football boot to ball relationship. Particular attention was paid to the instep area and how players connect and put swerve on the ball.

The result is a newly created shot shield designed for a cleaner strike on the ball for increased power, ball swerve and accuracy. Predator anybody?

Greater Precision at High Velocity:

Modular Instep – five pods on the football boot create a uniform contact point that creates a smoother surface for even pressure distribution. The pods are configured as five separate units that operate as one to remain flexible and fluid when interacting with the foot.

Enhanced Accuracy:

Advanced shape-correcting memory foam – provides a smooth and more consistent surface to enhance accuracy when shooting. This unique foam adapts to the demands of the individual player.

Increased Friction, More Swerve:

Engineered Fins – raised TPU fins on the medial side of the boot deliver increased friction on ball contact to ensure more swerve when you need it most. Each fin is strategically angled and sized to enhance control over ball trajectory, but fold on contact with the ball to accommodate great touch and feel.

The Total 90 Laser III is available in premium-grade Teijin synthetic leather, or premium leather for overall fit, comfort and performance.

The Total 90 Laser III design team also repositioned the eye-stay to a more asymmetrical position to allow a cleaner strike surface and easier fit and adjustment of the boot. Stability and comfort is enhanced with reinforcements to the external heel counter and outsole.

The football boot also comes with access to Nike Football+, a digital coaching programme which we first saw with the CTR360 Maestri.

The system, which you can access at nikefootball.com via a special user code unique to each pair of football boots, aims to help players improve their skills with insights, training drills and instruction from the coaching team at Juventus.

Additionally, there’s a specialized coaching session from one of Nike’s leading European ambassadors, Fernando Torres who commented:

I worked closely with the Nike design team on the Total 90 Laser III, and it definitely provides another dimension to my game, giving me more accuracy, power and swerve.

What I like about the Nike Football+ system is that now every player can improve their skills with tips from me and insights from top coaches on the pitch or on the go.

Nike’s top name’sare already in the boots, and we tested the football boot to give you an insight – Footy Boots T90 Laser III test.

The Total 90 Laser III football boot was released at retail in the UK on December 12th 2009.

hahaha rest assure i believe on innovation my friends. i’m all about predators, valours and T90s, never touched speciali nor tiempos (i’m sure they’re all good shoes, just too low profile for my taste).

so when i insult the looks of a boot, it means i insult the looks and the looks only. no disrespect towards its feature and technical abilities

@azeem: hahaha thanks, but i guess i won’t be doing any review about laser III
beside that i really didn’t like how it looks, i just bust up my savings for nike’s lunarglide+ running shoes (trying to build up on my stamina). the shoes got some groundbreaking features i could guaranteed myself that really works!!!

once again im with kuuku, on first impressions, the actual boot design isn’t to bad and im sure that this boot peforms impeccably just as the previous lasers have, if not better than the two previous boots. and anyway nike are known for their wacky colour combinations. also like kuuku said many ‘enthusiast’ footballers or internet footbllers (the ones that spend their day looking for the best colourway) are only worried about the colourway of the boot and how it looks , not the ground breaking technology that companies such as nike and adidas have developed for their boots which won’t make better players but several things like the tungsten powder in the powerswerves etc. will help improve your game in various ways

hahaha… again, rest assure that i’m not one of those ‘enthusiast’ my friends

i own various models of shoes, knows exactly how they perform, and totally objective when posting my comments here.

sometimes i also kinda disturbed when i see posts on various football websites when people are saying things like: “WWHHHAAAATTTT, THEY’RE UGLY!!!” before even seeing the actual shoes first hand, moreover trying them on.

this brings back memories a couple of months ago when i first saw the predator x, i also think that they’re not as good looking as the powerswerve. but after compromising with its looks, i buy them afterall. and whoala! despite its looks, x IS the best predator so far! great technologies are applied on this babies.

however, that is not the case with laser III. i just couldn’t picture myself wearing them to the pitch. i don’t encourage people to not buy them, really!
i’m just pointing out that nike couldn’t buy everyone with technologies alone. just for example: Under Armour didn’t forget that, and proved to be successful in combining ‘style’ with ‘science’ -as footy boots reviewed a couple of months ago.

and again, when i said ‘style’, it’s not just about the looks. its about how ‘confidence’ could affect your overall game

oh, and i’m totally agree to what kuuku’s saying and everyone who’s backing him up about the technologies. i’m just pointing out my thoughts mentioned above.

peace on earth

these should probably preform well, but im dissapointed to see that the lasers are now leaning towards helping with swerve. so far the predators helped with swerve, and the lasers would help with accuracy. but these models look way too much like the predators

these cleats will perform-i just know it-tell you why? nike wouldn’t get rid of a match-winnign formula and ditch the shotshield for this new one. they must have consulted their elite pro athletes and had redesigned and developed it over time, like they have with all their boots. i reckon a lot of peoplehear wonder if this boot will perfom-just like how well the CTR 360 would do. i personally love the electric green/red/black colourway as i like to stand out from the crowd and not follow everyone who thinks that by wearing mercurial they will be the next ronaldo-dnt get me wrong- i love mercurials-but this will suit my game and style much more…time can only tell how well these boots will do…but i think they will do the business on the pitch and new colourways will be released.i will get the shoot III because i play on astro turf. it seems even they have some of the technology in them. i think these boots will be top performers this season- and although i didnt like this colourway to begin with, i love it now and think its bold, makes a statement and looks cool…its the player not the boots but hopefully this will aid my game and yours.

Hello im a striker, and i want to have a good shoot, a powerful shoot, so I am thinking about buy these boots, but I want a boot with powerful shoot and speed. So I dont know each one buy: Total 90 Laser 3 or Mercurial Vapor 6. Any one can give a answer, please.

Pesas, buy the laser 3. The vapour is lighter but the laser 3 has more comfort and a greater area to shoot the ball with. And it isn’t that much heavier. Additionally the memory foam in the laser 3 will help.

I believe these cleats will perform well and they have come out with the new elite series for their boots which are lighter and have a couple different added features. As for those people that don’t like the colours, did you know you can just use Nike ID to completely customize the colour so you don’t have to deal with the green and red if you don’t like it. You can have plan black or white or whatever colour scheme you want. The only ones that you can’t change the colour of right now is their elite series because the colour of them is to create the most contrast to allow your team to pick you out better in their peripheral with makes up 99% of our visual field as 1 % is focused. The only problem with the elites is they’re a little pricy but I plan on buying a pair. Some say its the player and not the boot when it comes to skill but with these at least I won’t be able to blame the boot if I mess up
