According to Nike, the Mind footwear series focuses on mind-body connection. The standout feature of this new journey is the bottom where twenty-two independent foam nodules of different sizes are placed strategically to activate sensory receptors in the feet.

“Nike Mind is a new sensory-footwear concept that helps reawaken the foot, the body and the mind,” says Eric Avar, VP, Creative Director, Innovation.

These new models are also the first market-ready footwear designs to come out of Nike’s new Mind Science Department, a unique new team within the famed Nike Sports Research Lab. At their disposal is one of the few mobile brain and body imaging labs in the world.
