Who doesn’t like a good Pink release? Nike has added some pretty new colorways to the Nike5 Elastico series for those of you who are not afraid to man up and wear a slightly different shade on your feet.

The Nike5 Elastico series sits as one of the most popular indoor/short sided footwear option for players. Each is built with a different type of player in mind and come with individual states of detailing. Each version (Finale, Pro and Elastico) is listed as a Pink Flash/Volt/Pink Flash colorway.

We have broken down the Elastico series before, but here is what you can expect from this colorway.

Nike5 Elastico Finale – $109.99

Price-point: “Top of the line”
Upper Material: Kanga-Lite synthetic leather – offers the feel of kangaroo with the lightweight durability of a synthetic.
Weight: 9.2oz
Designed for the fastest indoor games, with a set of hollowed out panels adding a slightly sticky feel and raised fins on the sole providing optimal traction. Ideal for players who take the game seriously and need a boot that provides optimal performance in all areas. Not so good if you are looking for a long term durable option!

Nike5 Elastico Pro – $74.99

Price-point: “High end bargain”
Upper Material: Natural leather upper with layered forefoot stitching. Mesh panels along side add breathability.
Weight: 9oz
Designed for quick games where you need a little extra padding on the forefoot. Players who like to strike a lot of shots or need a little extra protection will benefit most. A good option for players coming back from injury or prone to ankle injuries.

Nike5 Elastico – $54.99

Price-point: “The budget buy”
Upper Material: Synthetic leather toe and instep overlay for increased durability.
Weight: 8.4oz
Designed for players on a budget who still want solid performance with a protected upper. The overlays on this shoe actually make it most useful in the series for toe-pokes, something players encounter a lot while playing at a quick pace. Also, this is actually the lightest of the boots in the range.
