The tongue is comfortably padded and stayed in place well, on runs when the laces were tighter, and when wearing casually and a little looser. There is a new lace eyelet design in this shoe which I feel improves the shoe aesthetically, and along with the reinforced stitching and support assists the midfoot lockdown. The white version did pick up lots of dirt and dusk immediately, even on a dry, pavement run, so something to consider if you like your shoes to look box fresh.
ARE NIKE RUN SWIFT GOOD FOR RUNNING UPGRADE
If you’re looking for an exact upgrade of your Downshifter 10, this is what this shoe delivers.Īesthetically I think the shoe looks great, mimicking the design of more premium Nike ranges.

On walking around the foam feels adequate, nothing too exciting about it depending on your expectations but all in all, a good first impression.Ĭompared to the Downshifter 10 I’ve recently been running in, there’s slightly more visible support around the midfoot, however, I really couldn’t feel this when trying it on.īoth versions felt exactly the same. On the foot, they feel lightweight, super flexible, and comfortable. If the shoe feels even slightly tight on first wear, size up here.

When I first tried on the Downshifter 11, the fit is quite snug for a Nike, coming in a little shorter and narrower than other Nike running shoes, so you may want to consider going half a size up, or if they’re your first pair of running shoes, at least a whole size up from your regular shoe.
