Nike Mind 001 Pregame Mules Light Smoke Grey Photon Dust Hyper Crimson Chrome Wmns

Nike has been through a leadership era shift, with Phil Knight stepping down as chairman in 2016, John Donahoe becoming chief executive in January 2020 and Nike veteran Elliott Hill later taking the role, and new lines tend to arrive when a company is arguing with itself about what it should be. Mind is one of those lines, and the 001 Pregame Mule is its clearest statement: a backless slip on named for the hour before the game rather than the game. This women's pair runs Light Smoke Grey and Photon Dust with Hyper Crimson and Chrome accents, a mostly grey shoe with two sharp interruptions. That restraint plus two hits of heat is the whole design.
