Nike Total 90 Laser III vs Nike Phantom VNM
Just as the current Nike Phantom Venom Future Lab II, the Nike Total 90 Laser III launch colorway from late 2009 boasted a striking look in green, red and black. The official color combo was "Electric Green / Red / Black" - the cleat was mainly green with black logos and striking red for the ‘shot shield'.

The remarkable feature of the Nike T90 Laser III are five pods on the instep that 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.
