Nike Mind 002 "Work Blue"

Brand: Nike
Model: Mind
Color: Blue
Colorway: Work Blue/Hydrogen Blue-Light Lemon Twist
SKU: HQ4308-401

TLDR: The Nike Mind 002 "Work Blue" is the latest colourway of the laced counterpart to the Mind mule. An almost fully blue upper meets yellow sensory pods underfoot and mini Swooshes in Light Lemon Twist. The release is set for autumn 2026, with a price of around €140.

The Nike Mind series launched in early 2026 and has established itself faster than expected. The Mind 001, a mule without laces, sold out repeatedly within a short time and regularly trades well above retail on the resale market. The Mind 002 is the laced version alongside it, and therefore the one available more often and in wider rotation.

Technically the concept stays the same. The series was developed within the Nike Mind Science Division, which focuses on the connection between brain, nervous system and movement. Large exposed pods sit underfoot and work against specific pressure points as you walk, delivering sensory feedback. The approach targets focus and body awareness before and after training rather than performance itself.

The colourway keeps things largely quiet. Work Blue covers the perforated textile upper, the laces, the eyelets and the midsole, with Hydrogen Blue taking over the tongue and collar. Contrast comes from glossy mini Swooshes in Light Lemon Twist, echoed in the pods on the outsole. A ribbed heel element and dotted pull tabs round things off and make the shoe easier to slip into.

That places this pair among a whole run of muted blues Nike has been rolling out across its lifestyle range in 2026. As always, you will find all details on shops, sizing and potential restocks on Grailify. With the Mind series, being early has paid off so far 😉
