Nike’s Mind 002 Sneaker

Lace up a brand new mindset. Nike is taking its sporting gear from the playing field to the laboratory with the new Mind series, constructing a scientifically-tested footwear system that adds a network of foam nodes to the footbed for a uniquely stimulating sensation with every step.

The Mind 002 is the sneaker version of the new Mind series, debuting in a space-age grey colorway with orange nodes underfoot. The shape of the shoe takes on a traditional runner look, but with large columns making up the midsole area and a fully perforated, foam-like upper. The shoe features metallic silver Swooshes on the side panels and tongue, but the aesthetics of the shoe are definitely secondary to the tech.
