Nike Mind 001: the slide that reinvented sneakerhead comfort

Discover the Nike Mind 001, Nike's most disruptive slide-mule since the YEEZY Slides drop. Released in 2024, this hybrid model between clog, slide and sneaker established itself within months as a streetwear must-have, worn by Drake, Kanye West and the wider American hip-hop scene. Its otherworldly silhouette, signature honeycomb sole and immediate comfort make it the ultimate slide for fans of avant-garde design.

At MTHOR, find the most sought-after colourways of the Nike Mind 001 — from Black/Gum to the limited Pink/Yellow editions, including the Sea Glass. Every pair is authenticated by our expert team: zero fakes, worldwide shipping in 2-8 days, payment in 4 instalments.

The story of an icon: why the Mind 001 broke the internet

The Nike Mind 001 was officially launched in July 2024, after several months of teasers at sneaker shows. Designed by Nike's in-house studio Skunkworks (the brand's most experimental R&D cell), it aims to answer a simple question: “how to create the most comfortable slide ever designed?”. The result caused a stir in the community: between fascination for its strange design and criticism for its “pot” look, it triggered a viral wave on TikTok and Instagram.

Very quickly, rappers picked it up. Drake was spotted with the Black/Gum version as early as August 2024. Travis Scott wore it on stage. Kanye West, despite being historically Adidas/YEEZY, publicly validated the model. This massive adoption transformed the Mind 001 into the year's biggest drop in terms of cultural impact, and propelled Nike onto the premium slide segment previously dominated by YEEZY.

Today, the Mind 001 is an essential of any sneaker wardrobe. It is worn just as well at home as in street style, with high socks or barefoot, on cargo shorts or an oversized hoodie.

A unique technology: how does the honeycomb sole work?

The secret of the Mind 001 lies in its sole named HoneyMold, a hexagonal-cell cushioning system in expanded EVA. Concretely, hundreds of honeycomb cells crush independently according to foot pressure, distributing cushioning optimally and adapting the slide to every step.

The injected monobloc upper material (no seams) guarantees record lightness (350g per pair in size 42). The construction without piece-by-piece assembly also reduces weak points — there's simply no joint that can fail.

Concretely, this craftsmanship offers three benefits: immediate comfort with no break-in period, record lightness making it the ideal slide for travel and daily use, and superior longevity thanks to the absence of seams subject to wear.

The collection's flagship colourways

The Nike Mind 001 collection available at MTHOR covers all the flagship colourways of the drop. The Black/Gum remains the pure reference, worn by Drake and the most versatile in daily life. The Sea Glass (water green) is the most sought-after colourway by collectors since its limited release in September 2024. The Pink Foam and Yellow are the boldest statement versions, perfect for those who want a true style. The White and Beige complete the collection with more understated options.

On the rare collaborations side, MTHOR also stocks Mind 001 Friends & Family versions distributed only to sponsored Nike athletes, as well as the size 9 sample drops reserved for insiders. For unique-piece hunters, keep an eye on these drops which come into stock irregularly.

How do you verify the authenticity of a Nike Mind 001?

Every pair sold at MTHOR is authenticated by our expert team before shipping.
