Nike Launches Mind 002 Sneaker and Mind 001 Slides With 22-Node Sensory Tech

Nike touts a 22-node underfoot system from its Mind Science Department meant to enhance focus, with independent verification still limited.

Overview

  • The Mind 002 and matching Mind 001 slides went live online at 10 a.m. ET on Feb. 5, priced at $145 and $95 respectively.
  • Today’s drop is limited to a Black/Hyper Crimson colorway, with queues, raffles, and early resale interest reported.
  • Nike says 22 foam nodes underfoot stimulate sensory areas to help wearers feel more present and focused.
  • Construction details include soft midsole foam, a breathable knit upper with engineered perforations, and a stretchy footbed fabric to let the nodes move comfortably.
  • Early reviews describe a noticeable underfoot sensation with mixed comfort impressions for all-day wear, and some outlets report further colorways and restocks are planned later in 2026.
