Nike Mind 001: Neuroscientific Footwear

Nike Mind 001 – The first footwear based on neuroscience

The Nike Mind 001 launches a completely new category: Nike’s first neuroscience-based footwear, designed to activate sensory receptors on the sole of the foot and help athletes maintain focus and calm before and after competition. At Next Step, you’ll find the available Mind 001 releases.

Design and features

The Mind 001 is a mule—without a heel strap—with a sensory stimulation sole designed by Nike’s Mind Science department. Released in January 2026, it represents over a decade of research on the mind-body connection applied to footwear design. Its silhouette is clean, distraction-free, with a focus on underfoot technology.

Materials and technology

Sensory stimulation platform designed to activate key brain areas through the sole of the foot.
Mule construction without a heel strap for easy on and off and smooth transition before and after training.
Minimalist finishes and a neutral tone palette in line with the mental focus concept.
