The Nike Mind 001 “Cucumber Calm” Is the Softest the Silhouette Has Ever Looked

The Nike Mind 001 in the “Cucumber Calm” colorway will release in 2026. It features a Cucumber Calm, Black, and Barely Volt design, and has a retail price of $95 USD. The shoe’s style code (SKU) is HQ4307-302.

Nike is releasing a light green version of their Mind 001 slip-on shoe, called “Cucumber Calm,” in 2026. It will cost $95. The shoe keeps the same comfortable design with its molded upper and special foam sole, but features a fresh, cooler color palette compared to earlier models.

This color combination really plays with the unique, somewhat unusual shape of the Mind 001. The soft pastel green on the shoe’s upper makes the design feel less harsh, but it doesn’t completely change its experimental look—it still feels like a mix between a sneaker and a science experiment. The ‘Cucumber Calm’ color scheme makes it feel brighter and more suitable for summer. Shiny silver Swooshes add a bit of pop, preventing the shoe from being too subtle, and small hints of bright green on the sole offer interesting details for those who look closely.

Since launching in January 2026, the Mind 001 has become one of the most authentic success stories in the sneaker world this year. Introduced with the Mind 002 as part of Nike’s new Mind collection – both at affordable prices of $95 and $145 – both models have quickly sold out with each restock and in every color released. While Nike plans to make the collection more widely available over time, recent releases still disappear quickly. The new “Cucumber Calm” colorway arrives as a summery option for a line that hasn’t given shoppers much chance to catch their breath.

The Nike Mind 001 costs $95 and is still one of the most affordable, completely original Nike shoe designs available right now. The unique foam sphere outsole and sculpted upper that first turned heads haven’t been altered in any of the shoe’s color variations. This new “Cucumber Calm” version maintains that same comfortable build, but with a color scheme that perfectly fits the current season.
