The Nike Mind 002 is back in a darker setup for Summer 2026, using a black base with sharp hits of red, pink, purple, and blue. The “Black/Indigo Burst” colorway keeps the shoe’s pressure-point cushioning visible, which is still the main reason the model stands apart.

The upper is made up of black perforated mesh. Gradient mesh bars are featured around the eyestay and collar. It fades from hot pink near the tongue to purple closer to the heel. Metallic Platinum Swooshes are featured on the tongue and side panels, giving the shoe a subtle shiny touch on its otherwise matte upper.

Most of the color sits underneath. All 22 foam nodes are covered in Hyper Punch red, while Indigo Burst rubber lands at the toe and heel. The contrast makes the outsole easier to read and puts more focus on the individual cushioning pods built into the Mind 002.

Black laces, padded ribbed tongues, and the thick sculpted midsole keep the rest of the shoe fairly restrained. Red dotted pull tabs finish the heel, with purple lining and Nike Mind Science Department branding inside.

The Nike Mind 002 “Black/Indigo Burst” releases during Summer 2026 in a Black, Indigo Burst, Hyper Punch, and Metallic Platinum colorway. It will be available through Nike.com and select retailers for $145.
