Nike Mind 001 Flyknit Slide Hyper Royal Black takes Nike's most unexpected concept in recent years even further. The Mind 001 is not just any slide: developed with the brand's Mind Science Department, it features 22 mobile nodules underfoot that move with every step to stimulate the sensory zones of the arch. A recovery shoe designed to relax the body, and the mind along with it.
This version features the Flyknit upper introduced earlier in the year on Hiroshi Fujiwara's fragment collaboration. The stretchy knit replaces the classic lacing panel and makes the fit softer, more breathable, and easier to slip on. In terms of colors, the Hyper Royal colorway plays with a gradient: an entirely black upper, including Flyknit, which gradually transitions to a vibrant royal blue as you move down towards the sole. The mini volt Swoosh on the knit matches the 22 nodules, also treated in neon yellow (an invisible detail once the pair is on your feet, and perhaps that's what makes it so satisfying).
Released on May 27, 2026, in unisex sizes, this iteration is for both the curious and the early adopters. Between a design object and a recovery tool, the Mind 001 forges its own path. This colorway is undoubtedly the most assertive in the range to date.
