The Nike Mind 001 is moving into the colder months with another colorway on the schedule, this time dressed in “Work Blue.”

Work Blue covers most of the molded upper and gives the shoe a nearly tonal look at first glance. The smaller details break that up. Light blue mini Swooshes run along the sides, while the Swoosh positioned on top switches to neon yellow for a much sharper contrast.

That neon yellow carries over inside the shoe as well. The same shade appears on the pressure-point nodes built into the footbed, tying one of the brightest parts of the design directly to the feature that separates the Mind 001 from a more traditional recovery slide or mule.

The open-back construction keeps the Nike Mind 001 easy to slip on and off, whether it is being worn around the house, in a locker room, after a workout, or outside. Its release schedule also makes it clear that Nike is not treating the model as something limited to warm weather, with this latest colorway arriving during the holiday season.

The “Work Blue” edition keeps the overall design straightforward, relying mostly on the contrast between the blue upper and neon yellow accents rather than adding extra graphics or heavy branding. Mini Swooshes remain worked into the upper, while the sculpted shape and pressure-point footbed continue to define the model.

The Nike Mind 001 “Work Blue” will release during Fall 2026 for $95. Pairs will be available through Nike and select retailers in-store and online.
