Shades DOWN 

Order given by leader of a group when walking out of a dark area, such as an office building, mall, airport terminal, or theater into bright sunlight. Max style points are achieved when the posse lowers their shades in unison, like a precision drill team. For this reason, the group leader says "Shades" as a preparatory and after a slight pause for each member to reach up with their right hand to grasp their sunglasses at the hinge point, or to say "Wait! I'm fishing for my keys!" emphasizes "DOWN." The leader must also anticipate arriving at the exit and time his order appropriately.
Keith, Dan, and Jeff are easily approaching the exit with their shades propped coolly upon their heads. Seeing the bright sunlight outside through the doors...

Love You Down No Shade 

Love you Down no shade as an expression, can be understood from the expression, “throwing shade” which means publicly denouncing an acquaintance or a friend. Hence, no shade means “no offense meant for what I said.” Whilst the phrase “love you down” still showing admiration/empathy to that someone/person.
“Kiara, you could’ve did better on the exam. Love you down no shade.”
