Nike Mind 002

The Nike Mind 002 is an upcoming sneaker silhouette focused on strengthening the mind-body connection of athletes. A product of Nike’s “Mind Science Department,” a subset of its Sport Research Lab, the shoe’s key design feature is an array of foam bulbs in the sole, a touch designed to allow wearers to better feel the ground beneath them.

The cushioning platform identical to the one utilized on the Mind 001 mule, obviously a product of the same school and a fellow trailblazer in what Nike promises will be a new branch of design philosophy moving forward.

The Nike Mind 002 will debut via Nike.com and partnering retailers come January 2026.
