Nike is giving the Mind 002 a muted new finish for Fall/Winter 2026 with a “Palest Purple” colorway. The women’s silhouette leans almost entirely on one soft purple tone, carrying it across the upper before a run of silver and Summit White details cut in for contrast.

The light purple treatment runs deep. It covers the upper, laces, tongue, lining and heel pull tab, giving the shoe a near head-to-toe tonal look before any accents arrive. Texture does much of the work on top: perforations run across the toe and side panels for breathability and visual break-up, while the padded heel is finished with a ribbed detail.

Contrast comes from the trim. Metallic Silver Swooshes land on the sides and tongue, matched by silver hardware around the top lace holes. Below the upper, a thick Summit White midsole carries down into most of the outsole, keeping the base clean against the purple above.

The underside is where the Mind identity shows most clearly. Purple Pulse colors the round pods that run across the outsole, and the bottom carries Nike Mind Science Department branding, with additional Mind hits on the insoles and heel. Offered in women’s sizing, the “Palest Purple” pairs the line’s pod-based tooling with a softer, more restrained palette than a typical performance release.
