The Nike Mind 001 is a slip-on mule designed for the time before a game rather than for playing in. Its defining feature is a set of 22 nodes built into the outsole that press up against the foot as the wearer walks; Nike says the design came out of its Mind Science department and is meant to engage the sensory areas of the brain. A stretchy fabric footbed gives those nodes room to travel while keeping the surface soft underfoot, and a layer of soft foam in the midsole handles the cushioning.
Elsewhere the build stays simple: rubber pods at the toe and heel add traction where the shoe meets the ground, and a knit tongue with perforations keeps the top of the foot ventilated. This colorway pairs black with Cool Grey and Anthracite. It is scheduled to release on August 20, 2026 with a retail price of $95, and it sits on the pregame and off-court side of Nike's footwear lineup rather than among its performance models.
