The Nike Mind franchise has entered its experimental phase, moving beyond its rollout selection of monotone colorways with a range of new styles that play with material and color in ways we haven’t seen yet.

Here we have an upcoming Nike Mind 002 featuring gradient detailing around some of the upper elements, fading from hot pink at the tongue to a deeper purple at the heel. Indigo Burst anchors the toe and heel plates, while all 22 foam nodes pop in Hyper Punch red. The main mesh upper and midsole keep things grounded in black, with Metallic Platinum Swooshes rounding things out.

The Nike Mind 002 “Black/Indigo Burst/Hyper Punch/Metallic Platinum” is expected to release Fall 2026 for $145 in men’s sizes. See official images below if you’re set on securing a pair.
