Nike Mind 002 "Light Smoke Grey" HQ4308-003

The Nike Mind 002 “Light Smoke Grey” pushes things in a fresh direction with a feel that’s unlike typical lifestyle pairs. It looks simple at first. Soft grey tones. A smooth, easy upper. But the real story sits underneath your foot.

Twenty-two separate foam nodules shape the outsole. Each one moves on its own. As you walk, they press gently into different points of the foot. The sensation is unusual at first, then strangely calming. Steps feel cushioned, but there’s also a steady awareness that keeps you tuned in. It works during slow walks, quick errands, or those moments when you just want to reset.

Nike’s Mind series was built around this idea of reconnecting with how the body feels during movement. The 002 carries that thinking forward with a design that supports the foot without weighing it down. The foam is soft and springy. Nothing overdone. Just a smooth flow underfoot.

The upper stays breathable and flexible. It bends easily with each stride. The fit feels relaxed, making it a pair you can wear across long days without irritation. The “Light Smoke Grey” colourway gives the shoe a quiet, neutral look that works with almost anything. It’s subtle enough for gym wear but clean enough for street fits.

This is the first generation of models developed through Nike’s new Mind Science team, and it shows. Every part of the shoe focuses on sensation and comfort. No gimmicks. No loud details. Just a steady, grounded experience that encourages you to slow down for a moment.
