Mind 001

The Nike Mind 001 is the slide with which Nike introduced its Nike Mind line in early 2026. Rather than focusing on cushioning or speed, it is designed to stimulate your senses and help you focus. With its closed, sculpted shape it stands out from ordinary pool slides.

The idea behind Nike Mind

Nike developed the Mind technology together with neuroscientists and had it tested by elite athletes. The aim is to help you clear your head and direct your attention, for example in the build-up to a game, a training session or a busy day. That is why the Mind 001 is meant for the moments before exercise, not for playing sport in.

Design and technology

The footbed consists of 22 foam nodes that move independently of each other. They pass the texture of the ground on to the sole of your foot, so you feel more consciously where you are standing. Soft, responsive foam and pressure points that follow the anatomy of the foot keep the slide comfortable when you wear it for longer. Thanks to the closed toe it is really a mule, which you slip on and off in one move.

What is the difference between the Mind 001 and the Mind 002?

The Mind 001 is a slide without laces, made for stepping in and out quickly. The Nike Mind 002 is a lace-up shoe with the same nodes underfoot, which you wear all day. If you mainly want a comfortable slide without Mind technology, the Yeezy Slide is a well-known alternative.

How does the Nike Mind 001 fit?

The Nike Mind 001 runs small. Choose one size up if in doubt. The slide is only made in whole sizes; if you normally wear a half size, go up to the next whole size. Because the nodes sit directly under your foot, a size that is too small quickly feels tight at the toes and heel.
