Keeping the model’s playful spirit intact, the Nike Mind 002 “Work Blue” gets a much softer presentation. Decked out in Work Blue/Hydrogen Blue-Light Lemon Twist, most of the upper remains blue while the vibrant hues are used for accents.

Work Blue covers the perforated textile upper, laces, eyelets, and midsole. Hydrogen Blue shows up around the padded tongue and collar, while glossy Light Lemon Twist mini Swooshes break up the mostly tonal finish. A ribbed heel piece and dotted pull tabs round out the back of the shoe.

The outsole is where the Mind 002 separates itself from a typical recovery shoe. Large rounded sensory pods sit exposed underfoot in Light Lemon Twist, forming the pressure-point system used across the Mind line. Those pods work with the foam cushioning, while Nike Mind branding appears on the insoles and additional branding is worked into the heel and outsole.

The Nike Mind 002 “Work Blue” releases in Fall 2026 through Nike.com and select retailers for $145.
