Nike offers a vast array of products for an active sports lifestyle. Because every athlete wants to be better, Nike is able to outfit an athlete from the top down with high performance shoes, clothing, socks, bags, watches and eyewear. Since today’s sports are about creating great athletes and transforming them into great players, Nike is there every step of the way to enhance each training experience, making each workout count.
Top quality and performance are key to unlocking your inner potential. With a pair of Nike Shox beneath your feet and a Nike Dri-Fit ensemble to help deflect sweat and discomfort, your goals will be within reach. No matter what your goals are, Nike knows that training and running are a way of life. Keep up with your active lifestyle and prepare for the game with the NikeFit apparel system.
If swimming is more your game, Nike Swimwear has got you covered. From training to team swimwear, Nike remains at the forefront of new and innovative technologies. Nike Swim is constantly striving to develop new fabrics for more comfortable and effective swimwear. Since harsh, chlorinated water is hard on swimsuits, Nike has created an answer with Nike NX fabric. This chlorine-resistant, colorfast nylon fabric can withstand long hours of training and competition while retaining its shape throughout the life of the garment. Excellent shape retention and soft, lightweight comfort can be found with Nike Swimwear that utilizes Nike EVR-X poly fabric. This unique fabric blends in the revolutionary chlorine-proof Dow XLA™ fiber with a comfortable stretch for maximum performance and comfort.
Nike continues to seek new and innovative ways to develop superior athletic products, and creative methods to communicate directly with Nike consumers. Nike Free, Nike+ and Nike Sphere are just three examples of this approach. Nike has always been at the front of technical integration, whether it is from Bill Bowerman’s wife’s waffle iron outsole, the revolutionary Nike Pegasus, to Nike Air technology; Nike is always pushing the envelope on creativity. When it comes to creativity and functionality, Nike’s motto is “Just do it.”

Cute and comfy from the get go. My back injury has encouraged me to switch from flip flops to more structured shoes on casual days. I wear this shoe for hikes and around town. Since I'm not a hardcore runner, I always feared the ugly sneaker. The Downshifter makes me wonder why I didn't switch sooner! I range between a 10 and 11 and had to get a 10.5 in this shoe.

Super comfy shoes. Great for running because they are super light. There is no need to breakt them in. Also super fast shipping.

Love these shoes! I think they are the comfy-est I own and they're pretty cute! I wear them on my walks and they are super plush yet give the amount of support I need. On other Nike models, I find sometimes the shoelaces pinch the top of my foot cutting circulation off if I don't tie them just right but these don't have that problem. There were some other color combinations available when I was ordering but now they're sold out - I will definitely buy a couple of the other color combos when they're avail again! Oh yeah - as always with Nike - I had to order 1/2 size larger and that was perfect.
I'd also recommend: Asics

Absolutely love these shoes. I was trying to find more "normal" looking shoes that I could both run in and wear to work. But all I found in the store were very garish, bright neon shoes for running, and the more regular looking shoes did not have enough support for running or jogging. These are perfect! They look great and match whatever outfit and they are also very light weight and great for working out/running. Just a note though: I have very long, very narrow feet. These shoes are quite narrow along the sides so they fit me perfect. But if you have wide feet these might be too snug.

This shoe has great traction and comfortable feel. It feels light and hugs my feet every time I wear them. They are great a gripping any surface especially wet sidewalks. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a hug feel nonslip shoe.
