The Nike Mind collection isn’t brand new anymore, but the brain-boosting Mind 001 and Mind 002 are still selling out as soon as they drop, leaving most sneaker fans still waiting to reach their full mental potential. As the end of the year approaches, Nike is adding another chance to try and cop, this time in a subtle two-tone blend of purple.
Smoke on the Water
The Nike Mind 002 Purple Smoke is a sugar plum-colored sneaker with a soft purple upper covered in breathable perforations running diagonally from the toe to the sockliner. The perforated heel tab and tongue tab match the upper perfectly, with lighter purple underneath and slightly darker purple on the lace panel and tongue.
The stacked column midsole adds more Band-Aid-reminiscent perforations in a nearly-grey shade of purple that matches the set of individually placed nodes built into the footbed. The ankle collar, tongue, and laces all switch to a slightly darker shade of purple, with the Nike Mind collection’s classic metallic silver mini Swooshes on the side panel and tongue.
