Name: Nike Mind 002 “Camo Green”
Colorway: Camo Green/Phantom-Newsprint
SKU: HQ4308-300
MSRP: $145 USD
Release Date: Fall 2026

Nike is releasing the Mind 002 in “Camo Green” for Fall 2026. The unisex release takes a quieter approach than earlier Mind 002 pairs, most visibly in the decision to match the pressure-point pods to the rest of the shoe rather than using the bright orange that has defined the silhouette’s most recognizable colorways.

The pod swap is the colorway’s central design statement. The Mind 002’s columned midsole and podded outsole have typically appeared in a contrasting color that draws attention to the shoe’s neuroscience-backed pressure-point system, making the recovery technology visible as an aesthetic feature. The “Camo Green” abandons that approach entirely, running the one-piece perforated upper, columned midsole, and podded outsole in the same Camo Green throughout. The technology is still present and fully functional, but the colorway treats it as a structural element rather than a graphic one. The result is a shoe that reads as a unified object rather than a performance spec made visible.

The contrast elements that do appear are carefully placed. Black foam wraps the back half of the shoe and carries through to the tongue and sockliner, grounding the tonal green build without disrupting it. Darker green laces run through the center of the upper, adding depth without introducing a new color. Metallic silver Swooshes on the side panels and tongue maintain the branding consistency established across the Mind lineup without pulling the eye away from the overall silhouette. Every contrast decision in the “Camo Green” is subtractive rather than additive, which is a different instinct from the colorways that established the Mind 002 as one of 2026’s most visible silhouettes.

At $145 USD in unisex sizing, the “Camo Green” sits at the Mind 002’s standard price point and positions the silhouette for a Fall 2026 audience that has had a full season to absorb the louder early colorways. A tonal release at this stage of a silhouette’s lifecycle typically signals that the design has enough cultural equity to carry a quieter story, and the Mind 002’s consistent sell-through record across 2026 suggests that is exactly where it is.
