The Nike Mind collection debuted in a clean mix of subtle monochrome shades, adding grey, black, cream, and a bold red, all with a series of orange nodes popping underfoot.

On the set of 22 carefully placed nodes, Nike switches things up with a bright white color that stands out just as much, if not more, than the orange color on the initial releases. Adding more change from the OG drops, the blue gradient adds metallic copper to the mini Swooshes on the perforated top and lateral side panel.
The Nike Mind 001 Blackened Blue will be released April 30, 2026 through Nike and select retailers in-store and online. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $95. For all the latest Nike Mind news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
