Usually, being black and blue after a workout means you got in the ring with the wrong sparring partner, but not if your routine involves slipping into a pair of Nike’s Mind 001 brain-powering recovery slides. As The Swoosh continues to expand the color palette of the Mind Collection, the latest 001 colorway adds more Flyknit to the mix alongside a black-to-blue gradient.
Flyknit on the Mind
The Nike Mind 001 Flyknit Hyper Royal joins the ongoing Flyknit redesign of the Mind in the wake of Hiroshi’s fragment collab from earlier this year. Following recent Flyknit pairs of the Mind 002, the Hyper Royal returns the extra-stretchy knit fabric to the lace panel of the 001 model, just like the fragment pair.
As for the colorway, the top of the Hyper Royal pair goes pitch black, including the Flyknit panel, which adds a Volt green mini Swoosh. As the shoe moves towards the tech-packed footbed, it slowly turns to Hyper Blue before settling fully on the vibrant shade on the outsole. Underfoot, the set of 22 individual nodes matches the mini Swoosh in Volt green.
