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

The benefits of Nike Mind technology in a comfortable, go-anywhere sneaker? Yeah, we did that. Plush and responsive foam cushions your every step while large outsole nodes push against your foot, engaging sensory areas of the brain to help you stay present and connect with your surroundings everywhere you go.
Activate Your Senses
Developed in Nike's Mind Science Department, 22 nodes move up and down against your foot in a way that is scientifically shown to activate sensory areas of the brain.
Prep in Comfort
Soft foam in the midsole provides robust, comfortable cushioning. The knit upper features engineered perforations for breathability. Stretchy fabric on the footbed gives the nodes room to move while still feeling soft against your foot.
More Benefits
- Rubber pods near the toe and heel help provide durable traction.
- Knit tongue feels soft and features perforations for breathability.

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!
First experience to go with nike
