Nike is opening a new chapter with the Mind series. The line is one of the first products of the new Sport Offense platform, which combines design, research and innovation from Nike, Jordan and Converse. The Nike Mind 001 is designed as a slip-on mule and is complemented by a classic sneaker (Mind 002).

A special highlight is the outsole with 22 independent foam nubs that apply targeted pressure to sensory-important foot zones when walking. According to studies, this targeted feedback activates neurological areas in the brain that are responsible for mental clarity and presence – a topic that is becoming increasingly important in professional sports.

Visually, the Nike Mind 001 ‘Black’ features a minimalist, one-piece upper in black. A chrome Swoosh graphic and Hyper Crimson Pods under the sole add a touch of flair to the look. The futuristic silhouette with its clean design and experimental approach is reminiscent of earlier ISPA models.

It will be released in January 2026. The price is €85.

It will be available via Nike.com, the SNKRS app and selected retailers worldwide. For more information on neuroscience-inspired releases and Nike performance innovations, check out Grailify.
