In the wake of previous CEO John Donahoe's departure, the Swoosh made it clear that athletes and innovation are once again the keys to the brand's future. Now, with one year of Elliott Hill as CEO of Nike, the brand announced NIKE, Inc. Sport Offense, combining the innovation, design, and product teams of Nike, Jordan Brand, and Converse.One of the four pillars of innovation to kickstart the platform is the Nike Mind series, featuring the Mind 001 mule and Mind 002 sneaker. We've taken several looks at the former in the past month, highlighting "Light Smoke Grey" and "Solar Red" colorways. Now, a new "Black" version of the slip-on has surfaced. 22 independent foam nodes rest at the bottom of each shoe, with it designed to “activate key sensory areas of the brain via underfoot stimulation.” In "Black," an all-black finish is accented by "Hyper Crimson" at the unique outsole.At the time of writing, Nike has announced that the Mind 001 will be debuting in early January. However, it has not shared any release details regarding this "Black" version of the sneaker. Look out for it to likely arrive shortly after the model's debut at the beginning of 2026 via Nike SNKRS and select retailers at a starting price of $95 USD and stay tuned for updates regarding additional colorways.Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast
