Mind 001 Pale Pink / Hyper Crimson Mules
The men's pregame mules in Pale Pink and Hyper Crimson mules represents Nike’s first neuroscience-based performance footwear, engineered to heighten sensory awareness and presence in athletes. These slip-on mules feature an outsole with 22 anatomically mapped, independent foam nodes, each moving like a piston with every step to stimulate pressure points under the foot. This sensory stimulation has been scientifically proven to activate key areas of the brain, helping athletes feel calm, present, and focused as part of their pre-game or recovery routine.
The Mind 001 is built with plush, responsive cushioning and breathable upper foams for balanced comfort, and finished with a flexible, water-resistant base. The unique pressure node layout was developed by Nike’s Mind Science Department, combining years of neuroscience research, EEG and plantar pressure testing to optimize both mental and physical well-being. This form-meets-function design intentionally disengages mental distraction by engaging the sensorimotor network in the brain for better performance preparation and post-competition reset.
Use the Nike Mind 001 Pregame Mules as a transitional piece by wearing before training, yoga, sport, or as recovery footwear post-run for both mental and physical reset. Its futuristic look pairs well with technical athleisure and laid-back, minimalist layers.
