The Nike Mind 001 Slide is one of the most interesting slide silhouettes Nike has released in years — the chunky cupsole, the Fragment Design-inspired branding on the footbed, the wide strap. It sits in a different space from the standard Nike Benassi or the Off-White flip flop. The Mind 001 has its own character, and in 2026 it’s quietly become one of the most copped slides in the rep market. We carry six colourways — here’s everything you need to know before buying.
What Is the Nike Mind 001 Slide?
The Nike Mind 001 is a collaboration-forward slide silhouette — it debuted as part of Nike’s partnership with Fragment Design and has since expanded across multiple colourways and collab releases. The design language is minimal: a wide flat strap over a chunky midsole-and-outsole unit, with the key branding detail sitting on the footbed itself rather than the strap. The chunky sole gives it more visual presence than a standard flip flop, while the clean strap keeps it from being too loud.
At retail, Nike Mind 001 Slides sell for $90–$130 depending on the colourway. Our reps come in at $85 for every colourway — same quality checks, free QC photos before shipping.
All 6 Colourways — Ranked by Versatility
1. Nike Mind 001 Slide Fragment Black
The cleanest colourway in the lineup. Black-on-black with the Fragment Design lightning bolt on the footbed — understated, premium, and pairs with everything. If you want one colourway from the Mind 001 range, this is the one most buyers default to. Our reps get the footbed branding sharp and correctly placed — the lightning bolt proportion is the detail that separates a good batch from a bad one. Size up one full size from your regular sneaker size.
2. Nike Mind 001 Slide Light Smoke Grey
The second most versatile colourway — the greige-smoke grey upper pairs with neutrals, earthy tones, and white. Understated enough to wear with almost anything, distinctive enough to stand out from a standard grey slide. Our reps are from batches with consistent, uniform smoke grey colouring across the strap and footbed — no patchiness. Size up one full size.
3. Nike Mind 001 Slide Black Chrome
The most premium-feeling colourway in the range — the black base with chrome metallic hardware accents gives this a different energy from the standard all-black. The chrome detailing catches light and elevates what would otherwise be a simple black slide. Our reps get the chrome finish consistent — it shouldn’t look gold-tinted or dull. Size up one full size.
4. Nike Mind 001 Slide Blackened Blue Game Royal
The most colour-layered option in the range — the blackened blue base transitions into Game Royal accents, giving this a two-tone energy that works with navy, royal blue, and grey outfits. The blue on this colourway is more distinctive than it looks in photos — the blackened base makes the royal accents pop. Our reps correctly differentiate the blackened blue from standard navy. Size up one full size.
5. Nike Mind 001 Slide Solar Red
The most eye-catching colourway in the lineup — Solar Red against the white sole is a high-contrast combination that demands attention. This is the colourway for buyers who want to be seen. Our reps have the correct Solar Red tone — it’s a warm, slightly orange-leaning red that needs to be exact. Not fire red, not dark red — Solar Red. Size up one full size.
6. Nike Mind 001 Slide Team Red University Red
The boldest all-red option — Team Red on the strap with University Red accents creates a two-shade red colourway that’s more nuanced than a single-tone red slide. The distinction between the two reds matters — ours are from batches where both tones are correctly separated and accurately coloured. Size up one full size.
Nike Mind 001 Slide Sizing — Important
This is the most important thing to get right before ordering. Nike Mind 001 Slides run one full size small. If you’re normally a US 10 in sneakers, order a US 11 in the Mind 001 Slide. This applies to every colourway — it’s a construction characteristic of the silhouette, not a batch variation. If you’re between slide sizes after sizing up, go with the larger option.
This is different from most Nike slides (Benassi runs true to size) so don’t assume — the Mind 001’s strap and footbed unit is built narrower than other Nike slides.
What to Check on a Mind 001 Slide Rep
Three things: footbed branding (the text and logo on the footbed should be sharp and correctly positioned — this is the most scrutinised detail on this silhouette), strap colour accuracy (especially on the two-tone colourways like Blackened Blue and Team Red — both tones need to be distinct and accurate), and sole thickness (the chunky sole is what makes this slide distinctive — it should look substantial, not thin). We send free QC photos before shipping on every order.
Who’s Wearing the Mind 001?
The Mind 001 sits in a different customer base from the Jordan and Travis Scott product. It’s bought by buyers who care about the slide silhouette specifically — people who wear slides as part of their daily rotation rather than as an afterthought. The Fragment Design connection gives it credibility in the collab-aware community. It’s also one of the most gifted products in our catalogue — it’s an easier entry point for people who are curious about rep quality but not ready to commit to a $110 sneaker.
