Name: Nike Mind 001 “Blackened Blue”Colorway: Blackened Blue/Metallic Copper/Game Royal/WhiteSKU: HQ4307-400MSRP: $95 USDRelease Date: April 30Where to Buy: NikeNike is making a compelling case for the Mind 001 to be the slip-on of the year. While distinct with its strong geometry and curiosity prompting nodes, its rollout was rooted in innovation. Bundled within the announcement of the NIKE, Inc. Sport Offense platform, the concept of neuroscience-based footwear was intriguing, a feeling that spread throughout the masses. Having worn the model myself, there has never been another piece of footwear I’ve worn that prompted as many questions from onlookers as this.With demand in place, the Swoosh has been handling the supply side by continuing to churn out colorways. One of the latest Mind 001 looks to surface is this “Blackened Blue” version. A blue outsole shifts to black as it makes its way up the mule, combining with metallic Swooshes for a sleek finish. Underfoot, the 22 independent nodes favor all-white, resulting in a color scheme that feels fragment design-esque.At the time of writing, Nike has not yet confirmed when this “Blackened Blue” version of the Mind 001 mule will be dropping. Stay tuned for updates, including the unveiling of additional colorways, as we currently expect this pair to drop on April 30 via Nike SNKRS and select retailers at a starting price of $95 USD.Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast

Name: fragment design x Nike Mind 002 “Particle Grey”Colorway: Particle Grey/Particle GreySKU: IQ8504-001MSRP: $140 USDRelease Date: Spring 2026Where to Buy: NikeThe Godfather of Streetwear is officially putting his spin on Nike’s latest footwear innovation. Following the highly successful debut of the neuroscience-backed Nike Mind collection earlier this year, Hiroshi Fujiwara has offered fans a detailed look at the upcoming fragment design x Nike Mind 002. Reimagining the recovery-focused sneaker through his distinct lens of industrial minimalism, the legendary Japanese designer has elevated the silhouette with premium materials, swapping out the standard construction for a sleek, highly breathable Flyknit upper.The core identity of the Nike Mind lineage lies in its proprietary footbed platform. Both the 001 slip-on and the 002 sneaker utilize 22 independent foam nodes—acting like small sensory pistons—that map directly to anatomical pressure points to theoretically engage neural pathways and promote relaxation. For this highly anticipated collaboration, Fujiwara maintains all of those core therapeutic benefits while completely overhauling the shoe’s visual language.The “Particle Grey” iteration is a masterclass in restrained, monochromatic design. The transition to a full Flyknit upper not only provides a modernized, sock-like fit, but also adds a lightweight, highly breathable dimension to the silhouette. To ensure secure support without unnecessary bulk, the design incorporates exposed Flywire cables connected to a minimalist, pulley-style lacing system.As with all fragment design collaborations, the magic is in the subtle details. The chunky, sculpted grey midsole is stamped with stark “FRAGMENT CONCEPT TESTING” typography, leaning heavily into Fujiwara’s recent lab-inspired aesthetic. The 22 underfoot sensory pods are distinctly tinted in the brand’s signature royal blue, providing a hidden pop of color, while the iconic double lightning bolt logo appears discreetly on the raised heel and insoles.Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast

Moving away from traditional color blocking, the sneaker arrives dressed in a muted green leather upper that provides a grounded and highly versatile aesthetic.

The design incorporates subtle rose-inspired accents and luxurious metallic gold touches to add incredible depth. Flipping the shoe to the back, classic Nike Air branding is prominently featured on the heel, keeping the bold design firmly rooted in Jordan Brand’s original heritage.As with any Teyana Taylor project, the storytelling continues well beneath the surface. The inner lining of the sneaker is decorated with handwritten phrases, including “The World Is Different Here” and “Rose From Concrete,” which directly reinforce the deeply personal message behind the collaboration. Taking the floral motif a step further, the interior insoles are covered in intricate rose petal graphics.To complete the premium experience, the sneakers arrive in special-edition packaging that seamlessly continues the narrative. The custom gold Jordan-branded box features a unique display window showcasing a rose graphic, along with beautifully matching interior artwork. The Teyana Taylor x Air Jordan 3 “Concrete Rose” will officially release on March 14, 2026, via Nike.com and select global retailers.Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast

As the Oklahoma City Thunder superstar finds himself on the absolute precipice of basketball history, having recently tied Wilt Chamberlain’s legendary record of 126 consecutive 20-plus point games, he is officially gearing up for war. Perfectly timed for the grueling playoff stretch ahead, Converse has unveiled the highly anticipated Converse SHAI 001 “Camo.”While previous releases like the luxurious “Truffle” and the upcoming “Blush” iterations leaned heavily into SGA’s high-fashion, nonchalant tunnel style, the “Camo” colorway takes a distinctly aggressive approach. The stealthy new sneaker covers the entire upper—including the tongue—in a nearly invisible coat of green, tan, brown, and black camouflage that looks like it was pulled straight from the racks of a vintage army surplus store.To perfectly balance the busy all-over print, Converse anchored the silhouette with highly considered, solid-colored details. The shoe’s sleek signature zipper cover, plush sockliner, and durable rubber outsole are all executed in a rich, solid olive green. Adding a touch of premium, structural texture, a shiny olive green hit securely wraps around the heel stabilizer. Rounding out the battle-ready aesthetic, bold black Shai logos are prominently stamped across the tongue and insole, ensuring the reigning MVP candidate’s branding stands out against the militaristic backdrop.Whether he is crossing up elite defenders to secure his history-making 127th consecutive 20-point game or marching his team deep into the Western Conference playoffs, this rugged silhouette proves that SGA’s footwear game is just as lethal as his offensive arsenal.Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast
