Nike 5 Elastico (indoors)

[SvenF]

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

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.

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:

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.

Which one does Ethan have?

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?
