Nike Mind

The Nike Mind collection at Mad Kicks brings together the full range of Nike's neuroscience driven footwear in one place. Whether you are after the Mind 001 slide for pregame warm ups and recovery or the Mind 002 sneaker for all day wear, you will find every available colourway right here. All pairs are authenticated and ready to ship across the UAE. This is the first time Nike has built a footwear platform around the mind body connection, and it has quickly become one of the most talked about releases in the Nike lineup this year.

What Is Nike Mind Technology

Nike Mind is the first product from Nike's Mind Science Department, a specialist group within the Nike Sport Research Lab that spent over ten years studying how sensory feedback through the feet can shape focus, relaxation and recovery. Both the Mind 001 and the Mind 002 feature 22 anatomically mapped foam nodes on the sole of each shoe. These nodes move independently with every step, stimulating pressure points on the bottom of the foot that connect to sensory regions of the brain. The goal is footwear that helps athletes prepare mentally before competition and recover more effectively afterward.

The technology was tested by hundreds of athletes over a five year period before it reached retail. Nike describes the Mind line as pregame and postgame footwear, meaning it is designed for the moments around performance rather than performance itself. That said, the comfort and the unique underfoot sensation have made both models popular as everyday lifestyle pieces well beyond the gym or the field.

Nike Mind 001 Slides

The Nike Mind 001 is a mule style slide with a sculpted foam body, perforated upper for breathability and an easy slip on design. It launched in January 2026 and sold out almost immediately on Nike SNKRS. The silhouette has a futuristic look that sets it apart from everything else in the slide category right now, and the 22 foam nodes on the sole deliver a feel that is closer to a targeted foot massage than a traditional flat footbed.

At Mad Kicks, the Mind 001 is available across colourways including Black Chrome, Light Smoke Grey, Solar Red, Light Bone, Sail, Pearl Pink, Mineral Slate, Barely Green, Blackened Blue Game Royal, Team Red University Red and Geode Teal Light Menta. Prices start from AED 1,150, with certain colourways sitting higher due to market demand. If you have been trying to find a specific Mind 001 colourway that is no longer available at Nike retail, there is a good chance we have your size in stock.

Nike Mind 002 Sneaker

The Mind 002 places the same 22 node platform inside a full sneaker with laces, a molded heel and a sock liner for a more locked in fit. The laced construction brings the foot closer to the nodes, which Nike says creates a stronger sensory connection compared to the open design of the 001. In terms of appearance, the Mind 002 lives somewhere between a lifestyle sneaker and a training shoe, with a profile that has drawn comparisons to the Nike Spiridon and Metcon families.

We currently carry the Mind 002 in the Light Smoke Grey colourway. It appeals to people who want the sensory experience of Nike Mind in a shoe they can wear with confidence outside the house, whether that means heading to the gym, walking around the mall or building a casual weekend outfit.

Fragment x Nike Mind 002 Flyknit

The standout piece in this collection is the Fragment x Nike Mind 002 Flyknit in Particle Grey. This is a collaboration between Nike and Hiroshi Fujiwara that released in March 2026 as part of Fujiwara's Fragment Concept Testing project. Unlike the standard Mind 002, the Fragment version completely replaces the original mesh upper with a reworked Flyknit construction that gives the shoe a sock like fit and a more refined feel overall. The midsole carries Fragment Concept Testing branding, and the whole design reflects Fujiwara's signature approach of stripping things back to their cleanest form.

This is a limited release that sits at the intersection of Nike innovation and high end Nike collaborations. At AED 4,700, it is the premium tier of the Mind lineup and one of the most collectible Nike drops of 2026 so far. If you are a collector or someone who follows what is trending closely, this is a piece worth securing before stock runs out.
