Step into a new mindset. The Nike Mind line is the latest innovation out of Beaverton, taking the recovery mindset away from the muscles and into the head, designing a new set of sneakers with bumpy nodes underfoot made to transfer the feeling of the ground and trigger specific sections of the brain that inspire focus and calm.
The Nike Mind 002 Black is the latest colorway of the lace-up Nike Mind shoe, featuring a fully perforated, breathable upper, chrome accents on the Swoosh branding, stacks of vertical columns making up the midsole, and, like the rest of the Nike Mind line, a set of 22 orange nodes placed carefully underfoot, connecting the ground to the sole with soft, rotating movements in every step.
After debuting the Mind 001 mule in silver, red, and black colorways, the Mind 002 has already been seen in silver, so the black colorway suggests that there might also be a red version of the lace-up recovery shoe coming soon. After a renewed focus across sneaker brands on bringing performance technology off the field and into the recovery room, the Nike Mind line is a sign that the trend will continue with force into 2026.
The Nike Mind 002 Black will be released Spring 2026 through Nike and select retailers in-store and online. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $145. For all the latest innovation news from Nike, download the Sole Retriever mobile app.
