Nike Mind 002 Flyknit in Cream

Nike spent years in its research labs working out what a shoe could do for an athlete's head rather than their stride, and the Mind 002 was the result: unveiled in 2025 alongside the Mind 001 mule as the Swoosh's first neuroscience-based footwear, built around foam nodules underfoot that stimulate sensory receptors in the foot. This Flyknit version takes the concept into a tonal cream.

The upper is knit throughout, shifting between open, airy stretches across the midfoot and denser, textured zones over the toe and quarter. A looped lacing system runs through fabric eyestays that splay out across the forefoot, with a darker taupe lining and heel pull showing through at the collar. A chunky cream foam midsole, scalloped along its edge, sits above a dark rubber pod under the heel.

The Nike Mind 002 Flyknit is expected to release on November 5th at 15:00 UTC for $145 in men's sizes, through Nike and select retailers.
