Nike Mind 001
The Nike Mind 001 (Style Code: HQ4307-001) is a performance slip-on mule released in early 2026. Developed by Nike's Mind Science Department, it is touted as the brand's first "neuroscience-based" footwear, specifically designed to help athletes stay present and focused during pre-game routines and post-competition recovery.
Key Performance Features
· Sensory Stimulation: The outsole features 22 independent foam nodes that move like pistons with every step. These are scientifically designed to stimulate sensory receptors in the feet, which in turn activates sensory areas of the brain to improve mental grounding.
· Comfort & Build: Constructed with a molded one-piece upper featuring a smooth black finish and perforations for breathability. A soft, stretchy fabric on the footbed allows the nodes to move freely while maintaining a plush feel.
· Cushioning: Utilizes a soft foam midsole for responsive cushioning, paired with a vibrant Hyper Crimson podded outsole that provides flexibility.
· Traction: Strategically placed rubber pods on the toe and heel ensure durable traction for various surfaces.
Design & Colorway
· Colorway: Officially listed as 'Black/Hyper Crimson/White/Chrome'.
· Aesthetic: Features a minimalist, futuristic look with a streamlined Chrome Swoosh and a crinkled, sculptural silhouette often compared to a "Cybertruck for the feet".
