nike magista orden fg turquoise shoes for women | all red lebron 10 sale vs Downshifter 11
Nike made a few tweaks to upgrade the Downshifter from its previous version. The shoe's upper has been slightly updated and some subtle tweaks are done on the outsole.
But what really sets these shoes apart, is that the new Downshifter 12 is much softer and cushier. This is confirmed by our durometer measurements as well. We found the Downshifter 12 to be 19% softer than the 11.

But if you are planning to take the shoe out in the cold, be prepared that it is going to stiffen up. In our freezer test, the Downshifter 12 got 30.8% firmer compared to its room temperature state.
Airy enough
When it comes to breathability, this shoe sits in the middle. It now sees a higher amount of material in the upper, and this impacts the airflow a little. But on a 1-5 scale where 5 is the most breathable, we gave its breathability a score of 3.
As you can see from our breathability tests, not much smoke or light is passing through the toebox mesh.
Downshifter 12 is a cosy shoe
We really enjoyed the way this Nike shoe fit and felt. The shoe has a soft, generously padded tongue (10.1 mm!) while there’s also a really nice padding in the heel.
The shoe's heel counter is not very stiff either. In our subjective assessment, we gave it only 2 out of 5, which is nearly the most flexible.
However, people with wider feet probably won't be able to enjoy the comfort of the shoe because it runs too narrow! Just look how tapered the Downshifter's toebox is!
Despite being wider than average near the ball of the foot (100.2 mm), the toebox gets way too narrow around the toes.
But the good news is that you can get this Nike shoe in wide and extra-wide options to get a better fit.
Midsole is not lively, yet nicely balanced
Price aside, another great reason to buy this shoe is its midsole. We have appreciated its softness during our test runs. But we must warn you that it is not overly plush! It provides a pretty balanced and cushioned ride for a shoe of its calibre.
We did lack the energy return of the more expensive models as the Downshifter 12 wasn't really helping to push off the foot.
Beginner-friendly heel drop
The all red lebron 10 sale comes with an averagely-stacked midsole which is neither too minimalist nor high off the ground. Perfect for someone who is just starting out on a running tatters.
We measured the shoe's heel stack at 31.7 mm and the forefoot at 21.7 mm. This is only a couple of millimetres lower than average.

Platform feels stable
The midsole on the Downshifter 12 feels soft but it has enough stiffness to create a stable platform to rely on.

In our subjective flexibility assessment, we gave the shoe's longitudinal flexibility 3 out of 5. For reference, 5 is the stiffest possible.

Not the lightest choice
If taken as a sneaker, the Downshifter 12 does a good job in this department. However, a weight above 10.6oz (300g) is nowadays quite hefty for a nike braata lr red suede black women pants shoes, which is averaging 9.5 oz (270g).
Laces are tricky
In some of our test runs, the shoe's flat laces started to unravel. This made us stop and tie a double-knot for extra security.
Perhaps, round laces would've been a better idea in this Nike shoe.
Long-lasting rubber
The previous iteration had an outsole that proved noticeably resistant, and the Downshifter 12’s proved as much as good.
We would rank the shoe's outsole rubber as average in terms of durability based on two factors: its thickness and density.
The outsole component on the Downshifter is 3.5 mm thick which is exactly the average across running shoes.
As for the rubber density, our durometer shows it to be close to the average as well. Only 4% softer.
A well-designed shoe
Nike tends to infuse style even into its cheapest offerings. For a £70 shoe, we think that the Downshifter 12 has a nice visual appeal and pleasing essential colorways.
What’s more, considering that this is a budget model, it’s great that they decided to make it more environmentally friendly.
Just great for your wallet
Even with this slight £10 price increase, the Downshifter 12 shoe remains incredibly cheap but worthy of attention. Considering the comfort that this shoe offers, we find it a great value for money.
