The Nike Mind 001 is an open-back mule with no seasonal restrictions. Sure, we’ve seen it outside during the hot months, even spotting a pair poolside for some pre-belly flop focus, but don’t think Nike is slowing down for the fall and winter. Bringing the brain-altering silhouette into the den and locker room, the Mind 001 is prepping for a strong holiday run of sensory-altering sell-outs.
The Nike Mind 001 Work Blue is the latest colorway of the mule slated for a winter drop, bringing the silhouette back to its monochrome roots. The entire squishy upper features a soft blue jean shade of Work Blue, from the columned side panels to the soft ventilated tongue panel.

Instead of the traditional silver mini Swooshes on the top and sides of the shoe, though, the Work Blue pair opts for a two-tone mix of light blue Swooshes on the side and a neon yellow Swoosh on the top to match the set of pressure-pushing nodes built into the footbed.
The Nike Mind 001 Work Blue will be released Holiday 2026 through Nike and select retailers in-store and online. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $95. To stay up on all the latest news and drops from Nike’s Mind Collection, download the Sole Retriever App.
