Nike Mind 002 Sneakers

Nike Mind 002 Collection -- Neuroscience Meets Sneaker Culture

The Nike Mind 002 is the most talked-about sneaker launch of 2026. Developed over a decade by Nike's Mind Science Department, the Mind 002 is a neuroscience-driven sneaker that uses 22 independent foam nodes built into the sole to stimulate pressure points on your feet, activating sensory pathways connected to your brain. The result is a shoe designed to help you feel more focused, grounded, and present with every step. At Mad Kicks, we carry authentic Nike Mind 002 pairs in multiple colorways with same-day delivery across Dubai and shipping throughout the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Kuwait.

Unlike the Nike Mind 001 slip-on mule, the Mind 002 is a full lace-up sneaker built for all-day wear. The lace system anchors your foot closer to the nodular platform, creating a stronger bond between your foot and the 22 sensory nodes for a heightened experience. Breathable perforated knit uppers, a molded heel counter, plush sock liner, and chrome Swoosh detailing give the Mind 002 a clean, futuristic aesthetic that works with any outfit.

1. 22 Independent Foam Nodes

The core of Nike Mind technology. Each node compresses and rebounds independently as you walk, activating key pressure point areas mapped to sensory regions of the brain. Over 100,000 nerve endings in your feet send signals to the central nervous system with every step.

2. All-Day Sneaker Design

Where the Mind 001 is a recovery mule, the Mind 002 is built for extended wear. The lace-up construction, padded collar, and supportive heel counter make it suitable for commuting, casual outings, pre-game preparation, and post-workout recovery.

3. Breathable Knit Upper

Engineered perforations across the upper provide airflow, keeping feet cool in the Gulf climate. Soft, flexible materials move with your foot while the chrome mini Swoosh and "MIND" heel badge add subtle style details.

4. True-to-Size Fit

The Nike Mind 002 comes in half sizes and fits true to size in both men's and women's sizing. Go with your regular Nike size for the best fit.

The Nike Mind 002 launched on January 8, 2026 and sold out immediately, generating millions of views across social media. Since then, new colorways have continued to drop, including the Black/Hyper Crimson released in February 2026. A Fragment Design x Nike Mind 002 collaboration is confirmed for Spring 2026, featuring a redesigned Flyknit upper in black and grey colorways. Nike has plans for dozens of additional Mind 002 colorways throughout the year.
