Nike Mind 001 'Smoke Grey'
The Nike Mind 001 represents a completely new direction in Nike's footwear innovation. Developed in Nike's Mind Science Department, the Mind 001 is built around the concept that engaging sensory areas of the brain through the feet can help athletes stay present and mentally prepared. The 22 outsole nodes that push against the foot during movement are scientifically designed to activate these sensory pathways. It's less a traditional sneaker and more a performance tool designed around neuroscience.
The Smoke Grey colourway delivers a clean, neutral grey palette across the Nike Mind 001. The knitted tongue and stretch fabric footbed sit in tonal smoke grey, while the unique outsole with its 22 sensory nodes provides the shoe's most distinctive visual feature. Rubber pods near the toe and heel add functional contrast. It's the most versatile and understated Mind 001 colourway, sitting between the bold Solar Red and the stealthy Black.
22 sensory outsole nodes developed by Nike's Mind Science Department to activate sensory areas of the brain. Soft foam midsole for robust, comfortable cushioning. Stretchy fabric footbed that allows nodes to move while feeling soft against the foot. Knitted tongue with perforations for breathability and comfort. Rubber pods near toe and heel for durable traction.

The Nike Mind 001 Smoke Grey is ideal for athletes and performance enthusiasts who want the Mind Science sensory node technology in the most versatile, everyday colourway. The neutral smoke grey palette makes it easier to style than the bolder Solar Red while still delivering the same 22-node brain-activating technology. Suits anyone who wants a genuinely innovative shoe that works across training, pre-game routines, and casual wear.
The Nike Mind 001 Smoke Grey is the most versatile colourway in the Mind range. The neutral grey palette works with dark joggers, black denim, neutral tones, or athletic wear. It's subtler than the Solar Red and less stark than the Black, making it the easiest Mind 001 to integrate into everyday outfits.
The Nike Mind 001 occupies a completely different space to traditional retro runners like the P-6000, ASICS Gel-Kayano 14, or Saucony ProGrid Omni 9. It's not a lifestyle or heritage shoe but a performance innovation built around neuroscience. The Smoke Grey sits between the stealthy Black and the bold Solar Red as the most balanced, versatile option. For customers looking for something genuinely different from any other shoe on the market, the Mind 001 stands alone.
Yes, the Nike Mind 001 runs true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK size. The stretchy fabric footbed and knitted tongue provide a comfortable, adaptive fit.
The Nike Mind 001 features 22 large outsole nodes that move up and down against your foot as you step. Developed in Nike's Mind Science Department, these nodes are scientifically shown to activate sensory areas of the brain, helping you stay present and connected with your surroundings. Soft foam in the midsole provides additional cushioning for comfort.
The Nike Mind 001 Smoke Grey is available in unisex sizing. Check the available sizes on the product page for current stock.
We recommend spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap. The knitted tongue and stretch fabric footbed should be handled gently. Avoid machine washing as this can damage the sensory nodes and foam midsole. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
