And those who didn’t, regret it to this day.
The only soccer boots I actually ever wanted were Nike Total 90’s. Of all things I wanted growing up that I couldn’t get, total 90 is in top 10.

The American Sportswear giant are looking to turn back time by designing a new beat that is heavily inspired by the Total 90 design. The New Phantom are black and white while sharing the same pattern with the 2nd design of the iconic boot.
According to Footy Headlines, the boots will be limited edition and will be released by either spring or summer later this year. The report goes on to add that the cleats will cost a steep $250. However, football boot enthusiasts will likely have no problems coughing the cash up.
