Nike Mind 001 "Barely Green" Releases April 1

The Nike Mind 001 “Barely Green” continues Nike’s quiet push into comfort-led design, shaped by research from the brand’s Mind Science program. Releasing April 1, the mule takes a stripped-back approach, focusing on how materials, form, and underfoot feel can influence everyday wear.

The seamless foam construction is paired with subtle perforations for airflow, while the muted Barely Green finish reinforces the shoe’s understated, calming intent. Underfoot, rounded tooling and small traction pods are designed to distribute pressure evenly, prioritizing ease of movement rather than performance metrics.

Minimal branding and a clean silhouette keep the focus on feel, positioning the Nike Mind 001 “Barely Green” as a recovery-minded option meant for daily use rather than statement wear.

The Nike Mind 001 “Barely Green” is set to release on April 1 through Nike.com and select retailers.
