The Nike Mind collection is a soft set of foam shoes designed to stimulate your brain. Constructed with 22 individually mobile nodes built into the footbed, the shoes are meant to connect each stride to the ground underfoot, recentering mental focus one step at a time. Beyond the pressure point science and recovery use, though, the shoes have taken off as a lifestyle hit, selling out in every new color that hits shelves.
On the latest pair of women’s exclusive Nike Mind 002, The Swoosh reimagines the lace-up Mind shoe as a raspberry in a Pink Smoke shade that perfectly balances between pink and red. Like so many other Mind colorways, the pair adds metallic silver to the Swoosh branding on the side panels and tongue.
Nike Mind 002 Pink Smoke (W)
Starting with the red fruit Pink Smoke color on the wavy columned midsole, the fully perforated upper keeps the same monochrome makeup. The tongue and laces switch it up to a darker maroon Mystic Dates color for a deep red split.
The Nike Mind 002 Pink Smoke (W) will be released Fall 2026, through Nike and select retailers in-store and online. Available in women’s sizing, the retail price is set at $145. For all the latest Nike Mind news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
