The Nike T90 Tracer served as the official match ball for the Premier League, Serie A, and La Liga throughout the 2010/11 season. Introduced on 1 July 2010, it remained in use until 30 June 2011, representing Nike’s continued development of the Total 90 series.
Constructed with geometric precision, the ball ensures an even distribution of pressure across its panels, producing accurate flight and consistent power with every strike. Its multilayered casing incorporates compressed polyethylene to store and release energy on impact, while a polyester fabric lining enhances stability. The design is supported by an ultra-light valve system to optimise performance.
The ball features Nike’s depth-enhanced performance graphic, created to improve visual tracking during play. Each league version carried its respective logo, with this model displaying the Premier League badge above the Nike Swoosh.
The T90 Tracer met FIFA’s rigorous match standards, undergoing a full series of laboratory tests for circumference, roundness, rebound, weight, water absorption, air retention, and durability. These evaluations ensure uniform performance across all conditions, confirming compliance with FIFA’s Approved Match Ball criteria.
The T90 Tracer remains one of Nike’s key releases from the early 2010s, bridging the evolution between the Aerow and Incyte generations.
