I just bought these pair of Nike T3's and had a test run in a 5 aside game immediately on that evening. Previously, I had worn the very first Nike R10 for 5 aside and it worked great and still is for the last 3 years. So I've decided for a change and fast. Then I went to the shop immediately and decided on that very moment. I left with two choices between the CTR 360 and T3 and here are the reasons:
Nike CTR 360
A nice design specifically for ball control and passing techniques. Ideal for ball control and touch with the ball especially in 5 aside games. The only downfall is that it's bulky and heavier than the Nike T3.
Nike Five T3
Designed specifically for 5 aside with its rounded shape and slight swerve line of laces allowing more sweet spot for shooting and some soccer tricks using the side of your foot.
In the end and eventually I decided for the Nike T3 for one and one reason, the pair of shoes is designed and meant for 5 aside game of soccer.
Whereas the CTR 360 have great designed for ball control and touch but the very concept of CTR 360 came from the actual soccer itself. Meaning the CTR 360 has been tried and tested by professional soccer players like Cesc Fabregas for the purpose of getting the best on the soccer pitch rather than in 5 aside game.
So, that evening the Nike T3 didn't disappoint one bit and I enjoyed every moment of it. In fact, I'm looking forward to the next 5 aside game whether for fun or in actual competition.
Hope this helps. All the best in your daily soccer and freestyle soccer.
