Name: Nike Mind 001 “Barely Green”Colorway: Barely Green/Hyper Crimson-Black-ChromeSKU: HQ4309-300MSRP: $95 USDRelease Date: May 21Where to Buy: NikeNike continues to capitalize on the soaring demand for its neuroscience-inspired slip-on, introducing the Nike Mind 001 in a refreshing “Barely Green” colorway. With early restocks selling out rapidly, the brand is quickly expanding the silhouette’s lineup, dedicating softer and more subtle palettes for this women’s release.The upcoming iteration maintains the minimal, forward-thinking design language that has defined the model’s early success in the footwear market. A soft, barely-there green shade completely envelops the smooth molded upper, delivering a clean and effortless aesthetic that prioritizes everyday wearability. This muted, tonal approach serves as a deliberate contrast to the aggressive and highly technical tooling hidden beneath the surface.Flipping the slide reveals the silhouette’s signature visual pop. Bold crimson accents highlight the intricate, performance-driven pod system underfoot, ensuring the design retains its distinctive character without feeling overly subdued. The juxtaposition between the calm exterior shell and the vibrant traction pattern perfectly encapsulates the model’s innovative, comfort-focused DNA.
