Dressed For The Streets

11teamsports and Nike are taking us on a journey through the soul of football — where concrete meets culture and style moves fast, really fast.  Welcome to "Dressed for the Streets" — a look at how the Total 90 decodes the signs, symbols, and raw energy of European cities and beyond. A story of movement, expression, and street culture across Europe's cities — all seen through the bold lens of a football icon reimagined for everyday life.

Berlin isn’t a city that asks you to fit in. It’s a city that dares you to stand out. 
Among concrete giants and cage pitches, down broken sidewalks and through endless Späti nights, a new kind of street culture moves — fast, free, a little rough around the edges.

The Total 90 were born on the pitch. But in Berlin, they’ve found a second life — a louder, looser, more beautiful one. One where football boots are laced into everyday stories, and the streets themselves become the game.

 Walk down Pallasstraße, and you’ll see it.  Tower blocks like brutalist cathedrals. Cage pitches welded between grey slabs of concrete. Kids playing until the streetlights hum on. Here, style it’s lived. Built from movement, from dust, from whatever you can pull together to make yourself feel faster, stronger, bigger. The Total 90s slip into this rhythm naturally. Tough enough for the street. Light enough for the chase. 

At Kottbusser Tor, there’s no pretending. 
The street beats louder. The people move faster. 
Style here isn’t about minimalism — it’s about expression. DIY streetwear stitched with pride, sneakers scraped raw from city miles, boots worn into the day. 
At Kotti, the Total 90s are tools — for claiming your space, for moving your way, for making sure you’re seen even when the city tries to swallow you up. 

“For real Berliners, the T90 is part of who we are," says our talent and model, Marcelo.
"To me, the T90 represents history. Nostalgia. A whole era. It stood for hope, for carefree days – and yeah, even for rebellion. Because it wasn’t just about how the shoe looked, but what it meant. It was a statement from our community to the rest of society. Back then, it wasn’t just about the T90 itself. It was the whole vibe that came with it – jeans and a tee, a leather jacket in the summer.

For kids like us – children of migrants, families that didn’t have a lot – the T90s meant everything, especially if you loved football or dreamed of going pro. These shoes were like gold. We wore them everywhere: at school, training, family get-togethers, or just kicking around with friends.
They gave us that feeling – like we were just a step away from the stars we saw on TV. And they got us recognition, too – from our older cousins, brothers, uncles… even from classmates and teammates”

 Berlin teaches you early that fences aren’t walls. They're invitations. 
A moped cutting across a cage pitch. A ball slipping between the cracks of a concrete court. Freedom here doesn’t come gift-wrapped — you take it, you make it.  The Total 90s, once designed for the sharp geometry of the game, now tear across every border — physical, cultural, personal. 

Because Berlin’s true beauty has always been in its defiance. 
And every scuffed sole tells the story better than any polished pair ever could.

 In a city made of grey, movement becomes color. 
In a city built from concrete, expression becomes survival. 
The Total 90s Vol 1 are a Berlin story.
