Has anyone any experience with any of these 3 variations of the Nike 5 Elasticos? Is there any other difference (material maybe?) than the looks?
Thanks a lot. :)

For example, check the sole on the first shoe? Will this difference in "bumpiness" (front part, middle and back part of the sole) have any impact on my sole stall?

The Elastico model is one of the most popular, if not the most popular shoe ATM in the FS community, Macca even did a review on them recently. The Elastico Pro model is also very popular.
I had the Elastico Finale model, which I got for a show, but I sold them immediately after it, since I have enough shoes ATM and I didn't really like them, but Planta has them and he doesn't seem to have any trouble with his Sole Stall. The dots in the front give you some extra grip on the ball, which is nice.
The difference is mostly in the materials used and also, in the shape of the shoe, but I think you won't go wrong no matter which model you choose. Would be best if you went to a store and tried em out first.

i have had elastico, and elastico pro, they are awesome. the elasticos are cheaper, but i wud find the pair that u like
-
@sven - you have nike t3 now right
i had those too (3 pairs) and i thought they were the best shoes ever
when i went to elastico pro - i realized i was wrong - for me elastico pro are absolutely the best shoes
i had 3 pairs of those so far as well - the ones in white/orange and 2 in grey and green - like lotar and max
HIGHLY RECOMMEND :bowdown:

If you have trouble with your arches, I'd recommend getting arch supports or some adidas.
I have the Pro's and I use them for indoor, futsal, and FS and the touch is great. Honestly if you are only doing FS get the Elasticos. I'm pretty sure the sole is a bit more thick will wear down slower. The outer material on them are fine unless you prefer leather over synthetic.

sadly, its almost impossible to find a pair of the grey and green :(

WOW, the Finale model is awesome. Looks really cool.

Thanks for the advice guys! So Macca has the non-Pros.
As youthedog4 says, the non-Pros have a thicker sole.. they also seem to have a bigger nose, which I usually don't like. Can anyone confirm that?
Which one does Ethan have?
Besides, no one really answered my question about the sole, which is like the only thing right now which prevents me from getting the Pros. Do you think the sole would make vee stall more difficult? Look at the picture, it will make my concerns more clear hopefully:

the ones in the picture are finale i think, the bottom of my pros is very flat, except where it curves up at the toe. also i think ethan has the plain elasticos. http://wordpresstemplatesblogger.com/new-blogger-wordpress/nike5-elastico-online (http://wordpresstemplatesblogger.com/new-blogger-wordpress/nike5-elastico-online) and http://www.nikys-sports.com/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=8197&idcategory=54 (http://www.nikys-sports.com/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=8197&idcategory=54)

Which part are you concerned about? The middle? All of it is flat, the middle is like that to keep traction while maintaining good flexibility in the middle. As it goes inside there are less of the little dots and it starts going up. And yes the toe does stick out more on the Elasticos than the rest but it does have a flat sole.

The basic ones, Nike Elastico. He even posted on Macca's review how great they are, but get worn out quickly.

I did, in my first post.
P.S. Why don't you go to some shops and try them out?
-
i have the first elastico , and no it doesn't affect the sole stall :) and its really great! :victory:
-
Thanks everyone! I think I'll get the Pro's.
@Miran: sorry, I must have overseen it in your first post, sorry about that.
There is no shop that sells any good freestyle shoes, if they even have any indoor shoes.

No shops in München, really? Damn, don't remember it was such a bad situation when I was there...

Sven, kauf dir die elastico pro, sind die besten schuhe der welt. und v stall klappt auch locker mit denen, spätestens nachdem du sie eingespielt hast und die sohle flexibel genug ist ;)

I can highly recommend the 3rd pair of shoes you linked, Sven :) I've had them in both red/white (as in the link) and now i have them in green/grey. Those and adinova (version 1-3) are the best shoes for me :) The only problem i had at first was with my V-stall. You kinda need to learn it over again, but its no problem when you're used to the shoe :D

where did u managed to find the green/grey, iv been looking and i can never find them
-
im sorry i only just saw this thread..
Otherwise I would have said straight away - ELASTICO ALLLLLLLLLLLL THE WAY! literally my only negative is how quickly they wear down but it doesnt really matter cos they are just sooo good. when you get them you will be shocked by how light they are + they are really grippy. i think they look pretty cool on camera too.
this is my new pair http://www.prodirectsoccer.com/Products/Nike-Football-Boots-Nike5-Elastico-Indoor-Fives-Soccer-Cleats-BlackWhiteTour-Yellow-37101.aspx (http://www.prodirectsoccer.com/Products/Nike-Football-Boots-Nike5-Elastico-Indoor-Fives-Soccer-Cleats-BlackWhiteTour-Yellow-37101.aspx) personal fav freestyle shoes ever!
