Nike Mind 001 Mineral Slate

Built for: Recovery and downtime around training.

The Mind 001 comes from Nike's Mind Science department and is built around a 22-node sensory outsole. The oversized foam nodes move up and down against the sole of the foot as weight shifts, creating pressure variation designed to stimulate the foot's sensory nerves. Slip-on, open-backed, and made for the hours you are not running.

Why it works

• 22 oversized sensory nodes move independently under the foot, varying pressure with every step.
• Open-back, slip-on construction — on and off in a second, over socks, tape or bare feet.
• Stretch fabric footbed lets the nodes move while keeping the underfoot feel soft.
• Soft foam midsole made for standing and slow walking, not for running mileage.

The details

• Type: Recovery mule / slip-on
• Best for: Post-run recovery, pre-race warm-up, travel, locker room and downtime
• Fit: Nike recommends sizing up if you are a half size
• Feel: Soft foam underfoot with distinct node pressure across the whole footbed
• Not for: Running, training or long-distance walking

Mineral Slate

A muted, earthy slate tone across the upper and nodes — warmer than the gray, calmer than the teal. One of the more understated executions of the Mind 001.
