Nike Mind 001 is a mule-style (slip-on) sandal from the Nike Mind line, Nike's new footwear line launched in early 2026. Its standout feature is the sole designed based on neuroscience research. It has now become a highly sought-after sandal. This article summarizes what Mind 001 is, how it differs from Mind 002, and what colors are available at NiceFeet.
What is Nike Mind 001?
Nike Mind is a footwear line developed by Nike in collaboration with the Nike Mind Science team, part of the Nike Sport Research Lab. The core concept is to stimulate the nerves in the soles of the feet, allowing the wearer to feel the ground more. Nike says it is designed to help users feel "calm, focused, and present," and hundreds of athletes tested it for several years before it went on sale.
Technology: 22 Foam Pods
The footbed of Mind 001 features 22 independent foam pods on each side. Each pod moves independently according to the weight and movement of the foot, acting like a small piston that transmits the sensation of the ground to the sole. It feels different from regular sandals when first worn because you can feel each pod. Many people enjoy wearing them as recovery footwear after sports or for casual walks.
How Does Mind 001 Differ from Mind 002?
- Mind 001: Mule-style sandal, easy to slip on, open heel
- Mind 002: Closed-heel sneaker style, using the same sole concept
The style codes for this line start with HQ, which can be checked against the label inside the shoe and the box.

How to Choose a Nike Mind 001 Size
Mind 001 is available in both men's (US) and women's (W) sizes. For women's sizes, subtract 1.5 to convert to a men's size. See the full Size Guide. Because it is an open-heel sandal with pods inside, it feels different from a sneaker.
