Nike’s node-soled Mind collection has been a hit from the jump, bringing scientifically-crafted slip-ons and lace-up foam shoes to athletes and sneakerheads alike. Designed to refocus mental energy with every step, the silhouettes debuted with simple, monochrome uppers to draw attention to the 22 independent nubs implanted into the footbed, but now, the Mind is starting to expand, with new color combos hitting shelves throughout 2026.
The Nike Mind 002 Thunder Blue is the latest addition to the Mind collection, bringing a jolt of icy steel blue to the mix with hits of a darker Diffused Blue shade on the tongue and heel tab. Like most pairs from the Mind line, the set of interconnected yet independently moving nodes is colored in bright orange.

Covered in perforations across the foam upper and vertical column midsole, the Nike Mind 002 Thunder Blue keeps things classic with metallic silver branding hits on the top and side panel mini Swooshes.
The Nike Mind 002 Thunder Blue will be released April 30, 2026 through Nike and select retailers in-store and online. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $145. For all the latest Nike Mind news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
