I was initially pretty excited about this, but you eventually forget the nodes are there. also having balls on the bottom of the shoe make you walk uneven. To be honest, they’re more gimmick than utility. I’ll be returning them

More Gimmick Than Utility

Pleasantly Surprised with the Mind 002

Was curious about how Nike applied this tech and was pleasantly surprised. Very good quality, true-to-size but do expect a bit of snugness in a good way since the material will loosen up in time. Do think the Mind 002's would be good for short daily walks to exercise the feet. Kudos to Nike for coming out with something a bit different or re-interpreted differently.
Huge hit

These are absolutely nuts. I thought that it would take some time to get use to the feeling of the nodes pressing against the balls of your feet, but that went away after 30 minutes. They were the topic of conversation at the family gathering, everyone is intrigued. I can see this technology taking off for Nike. Bring on more colors!
