As sports science continues to progress, athletes have discovered that comfort in the game is nice, but promoting active recovery off the playing field is just as important to lasting performance. The last few years have seen sneaker brands go all in on between-game rehab, and Nike’s last slip-on is crafted with a mind towards futuristic feats of energy restoration.
The Nike Mind 001 is a clog-style slip-on featuring branding from the Nike Mind Science Department. Constructed like a Cybertruck for your feet, the shoe debuts in a light smoke colorway that covers the molded foam clog, with perforations for air flow along the sidewall and top where a tongue would typically be. The star of the Mind 001 is the orange pods protruding from the sole of the shoe for targeted recovery help.
