Here's Every Nike Mind 001 and Mind 002 Releasing in 2026

Nike’s Mind 001 has dominated headlines ever since the neuroscience-backed mule was unveiled late last year. Created as part of the Mind Science Department, which is housed in the Nike Sports Research Lab, the Mind 001 is crafted to help athletes lock in and block out mental chatter. The midsole is where the new technology shines, brimming with 22 independent foam nodes fixed to a water resistant material. As these nodes move up and down, they stimulate sensory areas underfoot to create heightened awareness, grounding the body and mind.

‘Nike Mind is a new sensory-footwear concept that helps reawaken the foot, the body and the mind,’ said Eric Avar, VP, creative director, innovation at Nike last year. ‘It represents a new paradigm of performance, and how we can potentially make athletes better in the future.’

The Nike Mind 001 is built for athletes, but ever since the first release it has found an audience among sneakerheads with the ‘Light Smoke Grey’ and ‘Hyper Crimson’. Both these pairs were snapped up quick-smart, and we aren’t surprised – because in 2026, comfort is king! The next pair, dressed in ‘Black/Hyper Crimson’, is poised to land in February. Hype is already brewing.

Don’t fret if you miss out, because according to @zsneakerheadz and @brandon1an, Nike are already planning to drop over 15 pairs this year! Peep ‘em all down below.
