Nike Downshifter 3

I got my first taste of Nike when my Dad bought me a Nike Air Pegasus II.

It’s love at first run. Light, fast and very comfy.

After the demise of my Air Pegasus II pair, I went hunting for the same Pegasus again, but sadly, there’s no available size for me on most Nike Stadium stores.

I ended up buying a Reebok DMX which is on sale on Toby’s.

Late last year, as I am seriously looking into more running mileage, I began hunting for a new pair of Nike.

There’s this great line of Lunarlites proliferating in most stores but I ended up buying old school, sewn decals, Nike Downshifter 3.

Actual price is around Php3,500.00 but got it on Php2,300.00 during a big discount sale.

The Nike Downshifter 3 uses the same light and sticky BRS 1000. The shoe serves it’s purpose well on road and oval run. The shoes are very light and the very comfortable on every run.

My only comment with the Nike Downshifter 3 is the lace’s white color. It looks better in black so I changed mine.

Here’s the product description:
