Nike Mind 001 Slide 'Geode Teal Light Menta' (2026)
Description
The Nike Mind 001 Slide 'Geode Teal Light Menta' brings a serene new palette to one of Nike's most talked-about experiments in footwear design. The Mind 001 arrived as the debut silhouette of Nike's Mind series, a project shaped by neuroscience research into how footwear can influence sensory experience and a sense of calm. Released on 2 April 2026 under style code HQ4307-301, this edition dresses the slip-on mule in a gradient of teal and mint tones that captures the meditative spirit of the line.
Overview
Constructed as a laceless, one-piece slide, the Mind 001 strips footwear back to its essentials and rebuilds it around feel. The official colourway, Geode Teal/Metallic Cool Grey/Light Menta/Canary/White, plays out as a gradient upper that transitions from rich geode teal into a lighter menta green toward the sole, giving the silhouette a soft, geological wash of colour. A metallic Swoosh keeps branding refined, while perforations across the upper promote airflow for all-day wear. Underfoot, the model's signature array of rounded sensory nodes, picked out in bright canary yellow, provides the distinctive tactile footbed experience the Mind series is built around. Effortless to slip on and easy to match with loungewear, athletic kits or relaxed weekend fits, it is a design as versatile as it is conceptual.
Key Highlights
• Gradient 'Geode Teal' Palette: A teal-to-menta fade with canary and white accents creates one of the most distinctive colour executions in the Mind line to date.
• Sensory Footbed Design: Rounded cushioning nodes beneath the foot deliver the tactile, comfort-first feedback that defines Nike's Mind project.
• Laceless One-Piece Build: A slip-on mule construction with a perforated upper makes it a breathable, grab-and-go option for everyday wear.
• Forward-Thinking Franchise: As part of Nike's neuroscience-informed Mind series, the 001 Slide sits at the intersection of wellness culture and contemporary sneaker design.

WHY OUR PRICES
The honest answer. The question we hear most: how can you sell the same sneakers for so much less? Here's the full, transparent breakdown — not a marketing line.
Where your money goes
At a boutique — $400
- The shoe itself ~15–25%
- Flagship store rent overhead
- Global advertising overhead
- Celebrity partnerships overhead
- Multi-layer distribution overhead
At Sole Dept
- The shoe itself what you pay for
- Boutique rent removed
- Advertising levy removed
- Celebrity premium removed
- Intermediary margins removed
Why we can do it
Production cost
The materials, construction and labour in a quality pair are a fraction of the boutique price. The rest is overhead and brand premium.
The retail mark-up
Brands add huge mark-ups to fund advertising, flagship stores and distribution across dozens of countries — you pay for all of it, whether you want to or not.
The Sole Dept difference
We source directly through UA (unauthorised authentic) supply lines. Lean operating costs, and every dollar saved is passed to you at checkout.
PACKAGING & WHATS INCLUDED
Every pair arrives complete. When your order lands, it looks and feels exactly the way it should — the full retail presentation, nothing stripped out. Here's precisely what comes in the box.
What's in every order
Original branded box
Each pair ships in its correct branded shoe box with the matching size label and SKU — the same box the silhouette is meant to come in, protected inside an outer shipping carton so it arrives crush-free.
Complete original packaging
Tissue paper, silica packs, the branded wrapping and inserts that shape the shoe in transit — all present, just as you'd expect from a boutique unboxing.
Dust bags
Where the model is issued with dust bags, they're included — ideal for storing your pair, keeping it clean between wears, and travelling with it.
Extras & spares
Spare laces, alternate lace colours, replacement parts and any accessories that ship with the original — included in the box exactly as intended.
Free gift with every order
On top of the full packaging, every Sole Dept order includes a complimentary free gift as a thank-you — a small extra tucked in the box, on us.
