Nike is set to release two new colorways of its Mind 001 slip-on shoe in April 2026, following the rapid sell-outs of its initial launch. The Geode Teal and Blackened Blue editions feature gradient designs and unique cushioning, priced at $95 each. These additions highlight the model's growing popularity in lifestyle footwear.
Nike's Mind 001, a futuristic slip-on mule inspired by neuroscience concepts, has quickly gained traction since its debut earlier in 2026. The model, known for its easy slip-on comfort, modern aesthetic, and node-based construction designed to interact with foot pressure points for relaxation, saw its initial releases sell out rapidly and attract attention on the secondary market.
Building on this success, Nike is expanding the color lineup for the warmer months. The Mind 001 “Geode Teal” (SKU: HQ4307-301) features a breathable upper with a gradient effect shifting from deep teal at the top to a lighter shade near the sole. Its complex, rounded cushioning nodules are accented in bold yellow, providing a sporty contrast against the Geode Teal/Metallic Cool Grey-Light Menta-Canary-White palette. This iteration is scheduled for release on April 2, 2026, at Nike retailers for $95 USD.
Another upcoming version is the Mind 001 “Blackened Blue” (SKU: HQ4307-400), introducing a subtle gradient with a sleek black synthetic shell exterior. Deep blue tones appear on the interior and outsole, complemented by grey and white pod-like cushioning units. It will arrive on April 30, 2026, at select retailers and Nike.com, also priced at $95 USD.
The Mind 001's distinctive design and underfoot support have sparked speculation about its potential influence on other sports categories within Nike's catalog, though it currently thrives in the lifestyle segment. Limited availability has made it challenging for some enthusiasts to access the technology, but these seasonal releases aim to broaden accessibility.
