Tyla Wears Nike Total 90 Sneakers for Coachella 2025 Rehearsals

Spoiler alert: It’s not the Samba.

As the countdown to Coachella 2025 hits fever pitch, Tyla is giving us a masterclass in pre-show style—and nostalgia. While prepping for her highly anticipated festival debut, the South African hitmaker reached into the Y2K archives and pulled out a sneaker that may soon be everywhere again: the Nike Total 90.

While many celebs are still clinging to the Adidas Samba wave, Tyla went in a different direction, lacing up a pair of metallic silver and black Nike Total 90s during rehearsals. She shared the look on Instagram Stories, offering a rare behind-the-scenes peek as she practiced for her Friday night performance at Coachella’s Outdoor Theatre.

The Comeback of a Cult Classic

The Nike Total 90 sneaker originally launched in 2000 as a soccer shoe, but its sleek, sporty design quickly found a fanbase off the pitch. The version Tyla wore—featuring a quilted silver upper, black rubber sole, and a bold red “90” emblem—was a fashion favorite back in the day. Now, thanks to Tyla’s Coachella rehearsal fit, the retro silhouette is making a comeback.

Retail price: $110
Status: Sold out on Nike’s website—but savvy shoppers should keep their eyes peeled for a restock.

Cozy, Cool & Coachella-Ready

Comfort is key when you’re prepping choreography under the desert sun. Tyla paired the nostalgic kicks with oversized gray sweatpants and a matching T-shirt, keeping things low-key but stylish. Her signature touch? Long, yellow manicured nails clutching a rehearsal mic—even offstage, Tyla never skips a detail.

This isn’t just any rehearsal, though. Tyla was set to perform at Coachella in 2024 but had to pull out due to injury. That makes her 2025 debut one of the most anticipated sets of the festival.

When and Where to Watch

Tyla performs on Friday, April 11—opening night of Weekend 1—and again on April 18 for Weekend 2. She’ll be sharing the bill with icons like Lady Gaga and Missy Elliott, so expect nothing less than a show-stopping night of music and style.

Not heading to Indio? You can still catch Tyla’s set and the rest of the lineup for free via the Coachella livestream. And if you are lucky enough to attend in person, take a note from Tyla’s style book: go for comfort without sacrificing flair.
