The Nike Downshifter 12 are neutral all-round running shoes for children. This running shoe is suitable for both running and playing on the schoolyard (think jumping rope and playing tag). The outsole contains more rubber than its predecessor and this provides extra strength. The Nike Downshifter 12 contains 9% Nike Grind. This Nike Grind material is material made from leftover products from the production process. The upper of the Nike Downshifter is made of light mesh material and textile for good breathability. In addition, this running shoe has classic laces. The heel counter has a soft lining on the inside for extra comfort. The tab on the heel ensures that you can easily put the shoe on and take it off. The soft foam of the sole provides plenty of cushioning and support while you walk and jump. The outsole has a groove over the entire length that provides extra flexibility.
