Description
The Nike Mind 001 Slide Light Smoke Grey introduces the debut colourway of Nike’s neuroscience-inspired recovery slide, built to support pre- and post-game focus and relaxation. Dressed in a calm Light Smoke Grey/Photon Dust/Hyper Crimson/Chrome palette, it uses a soft monochrome grey upper, midsole and outsole as a neutral base, punctuated by a Hyper Crimson hit underfoot and a subtle chrome Swoosh for a futuristic edge. Clean sculpted lines, a two-piece construction and perforated, breathable materials give it a minimalist look that moves easily between locker room and street.
Developed within Nike’s Mind platform, the Mind 001 Slide features a unique sole with 22 independent nodes that flex with your stride to gently stimulate pressure points underfoot, aiming to keep you grounded, present and mentally prepared. A cushioned foam midsole and contoured footbed help absorb impact and support natural alignment, making it a natural choice for home wear, travel days or recovery blocks between sessions. The slip-on design, scalloped edges and subtle traction pattern on the outsole complete a slide that feels concept-driven yet instantly comfortable.
As a curated artifact in a modern rotation, the Mind 001 Slide Light Smoke Grey offers a meditative, stripped-back take on performance comfort, ideal for athletes and city dwellers who want recovery footwear that looks as considered as the rest of their kit. With its distinctive HQ4307-003 code and thoughtfully balanced colourway, it anchors the Mind line as the cool, conceptual option for everyday decompression.
Care and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity of your sneakers, we recommend a considered approach to their care. Regular maintenance is key to preserving their aesthetic integrity and material quality.
- General Care: For leather and synthetic uppers, gently wipe away dirt with a soft, damp cloth and a mild cleaning solution. Laces can be hand-washed separately. Allow the sneakers to air-dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight, to maintain the structure and quality of the materials.
- Suede & Nubuck: These delicate materials require specific attention. Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt, always brushing in the same direction. For stubborn marks, a specialist suede eraser is recommended. Avoid water, as it can stain and alter the texture. To protect against the elements, a light application of a waterproofing spray designed for suede can be beneficial.
