The Nike Mind 001 "Work Blue" Arrives Fall 2026

Nike is extending the Mind 001's run into the colder months with the "Work Blue" colorway, a near-tonal build that uses sharp neon contrast to keep things visually distinct. The molded upper is covered almost entirely in Work Blue, giving the shoe a clean, unified look before the details start breaking that monotony apart. Light blue mini Swooshes run along the sides, while the Swoosh positioned on top switches to neon yellow, pulling the eye immediately to one of the most prominent branding hits on the silhouette.

That neon yellow reappears inside the shoe on the pressure-point nodes built into the footbed, connecting the brightest element of the colorway directly to the functional feature that defines the Mind 001. The sculpted footbed with its targeted nodes is what separates this model from a standard recovery slide or mule, and tying the colorway's sharpest accent to that area reinforces the design's performance intent. The open-back construction keeps the silhouette easy to slip on and off, making it practical for use at home, in a locker room, or post-workout.
