In 7-8 months they tore apart without me having run even once with mild use, the only positive was the price I got them for, 35 €

In the first month of use, the outer striped black fabric of the shoe started to detach, leaving the inner white fabric exposed—which makes the wear very noticeable—which in turn is also starting to wear out gradually... I didn't buy them for running but for simple everyday use. The quality is not good at all...

Good for €34 purchased. A bit uncomfortable at first, but after putting in a pair of insoles, it settled. Narrow fit, fine after a week and continues to be after 4 months of use. Walking only, I don't think for running. The odd thing... as shown in the photo, the right one on the instep has 7-8 vertical lines as a design, the left one has 3 wider and duller lines. It was much more convenient in everyday life than I expected for Nike at a low price.

Not even one star,
As others have said, the fabric tore at the front top part within a month..
We're talking about material failure, I should have returned them…

I can't understand the comments from some people in here that they get torn.. Well yes, they will get torn if you don't take care of them.. I've had them for 8 months and they haven't suffered anything... it's worth buying them

These shoes are very good.

very good product, the only thing is that I changed the pads

In an 8-hour shift, I got very tired. They are hard even though they are a larger size because they are tight, and after a few weeks, the fabric tore at the front seams. Unacceptable for Nike. It's not even worth 10€, get something else.

And some of you stop saying nonsense, the shoes are not for babies... 40+ years old... you are... Cheap shoes bought for 33.5 euros... They are not suitable for running because the sole does not absorb shocks nor does it have any bounce... but for a 33 euro shoe, you can't expect much. The fit is narrow and for size 43 with a 28 cm foot, a comfortable size is 45 or 29.5 cm. I wear them just for office work. Or to go for a coffee, not for long walks or standing... for such shoes you need 100+ euros. I will come back after a month... 14/10/24 they both ripped at the toe... so I probably won't buy them again, but as I said, I got them for 33 euros from the outlet

Stay away from these, with just a few months of daily use, they started to open up in 5-6 places, I took them for stitching but they opened up even more, zero build quality

Simply perfect athletic running Nike shoe, worth its money and more. I would buy it again in other colors without a second thought

After two months, with moderate use for walking, without having run even once, the fabric opened at the front/top part, just as other friends have mentioned here. Disappointment.

1 star only for the good design. The shoes are inflexible, hard, and the materials of the sole do not provide much stability. Nike is not worth it at these prices. One of the worst, if not the worst, shoes I have ever used. The previous Downshifter series were much better. They didn't even last 6 months and these fibers that it has ripped apart. Stay away.

After 3 months of daily use, they cracked on the outside from the top and look very bad...

Quality sucks. The black fabric on the outside ripped. It's used daily but the shoe doesn't get worn out. The sole is hard, you feel like you're going to fall.

Unacceptable build quality, Nike seems to have lowered the quality of its shoes in this category. They tore in multiple places on the upper within a span of 3 months!

Bought for 52.5 euros. Size 42.5 and weight 281g. It is a shoe for light training and short distances. As a running shoe, it is heavy and inflexible, with a very thick fabric that results in the foot's temperature rising quickly. It has a tongue with elastic that keeps the foot stable and its heel is soft. The sole is stable and soft, with moderate absorption and responsiveness.

The worst shoes I have ever worn. They broke 2 hours after purchase. The mesh fabric is so delicate that it tears with the slightest scratch. I do not recommend it, stay away, not even for free would I take it again

The worst Nike shoe I have ever bought. Its fabric is sensitive and tears where it folds at the beginning of the toes. I am a fan of Nike but this particular one is not worth it. It lasted me only 3 months. Used for walking and gym training.

I have sizes 9, 10, 11, and 12. So, the size 12 has a flaw in that when you fold the shoe, the plastic mesh on top leaves a small gap where it folds (it looks like a small tear), a flaw that previous models did not have. They are not, therefore, of sufficient quality for running. However, they are good for walking, like all previous models. (Essentially, it is the mesh that changes in each version and maybe slightly the sole of the shoe.)
All downshifter models are lightweight, comfortable, fold easily, and generally make you feel like your foot is firmly planted on the ground (which is why I buy them). However, they are not very durable and I notice that their lifespan with intensive use is about a year. After that, ALL of them tear somewhere in the mesh. The sole does not tear, it is good.

I do not find them the most beautiful shoes I have ever bought, but they do the job for running or simply walking and they do it very well. They are very comfortable, I wear them all day now and they never had the "hardness" of a new shoe. Better than I expected. And for the price? Let's not even discuss it.
update: after 25km of running mainly on uphill terrain: unexpectedly excellent, they comfortably handle long distances of 15-20-25km and are still soft enough that I can wear them again after a few hours for recovery. (I also ran them on a 14km trail run and they performed great).

I also bought this specific model, it is a quite lightweight shoe but it doesn't seem to be durable. If they last for about 8 months, it will be a surprise

When you wear them for the first time and run, you will feel discomfort in the sole but after 2-3 uses it will go away, their quality is good but I haven't used them many times so I don't have a complete opinion, the shoe fit me perfectly and fits snugly on the foot.

Perhaps the worst downshifter in the series. It cannot be compared to the comfort of the 10 and 11, and what is impressive is the cheap construction, a lot of plastic that resembles imitation. Classic Nike of recent years, it is better to buy something expensive from it, otherwise, you are playing dice.

Soft comfortable lightweight shoe, however the size 44 that I wear in my Nike shoes was tight and I got the 44.5. It doesn't provide good stability, sometimes I feel like the back of the shoe doesn't hold my heel well, with thin socks in the summer there might be an issue. The quality of construction and durability will be evident in the future.

Edit: Although I don't use them for rough use, after about 10 months they opened up from the top and sides. While I really liked the fit, unfortunately the fabric is not at all durable.
Prefer something else because you will regret spending your money
