The Nike Downshifter 11 gives you lightweight, flexible support to keep you going. It continues the same soft cushioning from the last version and adds more support around the midfoot to make it comfortable to wear long after your workout. Soft foam cushioning underfoot and in the heel provides comfort and support to keep you going. A rubber sole has grooves on the bottom that create traction and make it flexible. The rubber curves up the outside to cushion and add durability.
