The Nike Mind collection has been a massive success for The Swoosh. Debuting last fall to as much fanfare as the brand could muster, the slip-on Mind 001 and lace-up Mind 002 both spent months selling out as soon as they hit retailer shelves, existing mostly on resale sites with inflated prices. Beyond the classic foam pairs, Nike has also explored the Mind collection in a softer, FlyKnit blend first introduced by Hiroshi Fujiwara and fragment design.
Now a staple of the inline Mind Collection, the latest FlyKnit pair set to drop is the Nike Mind 002 FlyKnit Black Dark Smoke Grey. Keeping things classic with a black and grey FlyKnit base, the colorway adds slight hits of neon color with pops of slime green streaking down the side panels. The mind-bending nodes underfoot are black to draw more attention to the upper.

Starting with a black FlyKnit base, grey climbs up the tongue panel, starting with a protective grey toecap before adding a flood of fuzzy grey fabric and thick grey stitching. The side panels add green ovals across the lateral and medial sides to serve as extra lace loops and add some breathability to the knit upper.
The Nike Mind 002 Flyknit Fossil Stone will be released Fall 2026 through Nike SNKRS. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $145. To keep up with all the latest from Nike’s Mind collection, download the Sole Retriever App.
