You might remember back in 2025 when Nike first introduced its Mind designs. The Slide 001 and the Sneaker 002 from the Nike Mind series made waves immediately, thanks to their striking look and innovative technology. These neuroscience-based shoes are designed to help athletes optimise their mindset both before and after competitions. The Nike Mind 001 Slide in particular became an instant favorite and sold out rapidly.
Now, in August 2026, we are getting 6 special new colourways of the popular Slide 001 model.


So, we are getting 6 new colourways in total of the popular silhouette: an eye-catching green look in 'Cucumber Calm,' a clean, light 'Hemp' pair that fits right into current trends, and another crisp white colourway featuring subtle material and color details that set it apart from previous white looks.
Then there is an All Black look in men's and women's sizes, as well as two women's-exclusive styles: one in dark blue and the other in a smoky pink.
Which look are you going for? Let us know via Instagram!

Gavi, Spanish footballer for FC Barcelona, shared his thoughts on the design: "Nike Mind connects my mind and body, helping me stay better focused."
The design is a revolutionary slip-on silhouette engineered to elevate an athlete's mental preparation and pregame routine. Developed by the specialized Nike Mind Science Department, it bridges the gap between physical recovery and mental focus by utilizing targeted sensory stimulation. Instead of relying purely on soft padding, the design actively engages the foot to help athletes clear their minds and increase spatial awareness.

At the core of the design is Nike Mind technology, which features 22 individually moving foam nodes integrated directly into the footbed. As the wearer walks, these nodes shift up and down, transmitting the feel of the surface below and triggering sensory regions in the brain.

The Nike Mind 001 Slide in the 6 new colourways will be available starting August 27, 2026. You can purchase these pairs directly via Nike, just use the button below for full release details and to secure your favourite style. Good to know: Nike advises half-size buyers to size up for the ideal fit.
