The Nike Men's Downshifter 12 Running Shoes have a mesh upper that is lightweight and breathable. The mesh is placed in key zones based on runner feedback, providing cooling where it counts. The shoes have a super-soft foam midsole, a lace-up closure, and a pull tab. The midfoot fitband provides stability and works with your laces to keep your foot more secure the tighter your laces are. The increased height of the foam through the midsole provides a softer sensation as you run.
