Nike Mind 001 'Blackened Blue' Pregame Mule (HQ4307-400)

Nike Mind 001 – 'Blackened Blue'

The darkest and most dramatic colorway in the Nike Mind 001 lineup — the Nike Mind 001 'Blackened Blue' brings a bold gradient to the pregame mule, with a molded black foam upper that gradually transitions to royal blue along the bottom edge of the midsole. The royal blue doesn't stop there — it makes repeat appearances on the interior lining and the 22 outsole nodes, creating a cohesive color story that runs from the inside out. Developed by the Nike Mind Science Department, each node moves up and down in a piston-like rhythm with every step, activating key pressure points in the foot to strengthen the mind-body connection and deliver heightened focus and mindfulness.
