Nike Mind 001

Nike Introduces Mind 001, the shoe that trains the brain before the game.

Dear PA reader,

The future isn’t approaching; it’s woven, driven, and coded into the objects we touch today. Adobe’s Project Primrose turns a dress into a living canvas, fabric that reflects and transforms like thought itself, while Nike’s Mind 001 mule asks whether neuroscience can prepare the body by first calming the mind. In China, a dual-mode flying car takes flight, collapsing the distance between science fiction and suburban commute.

On Labs’ Tokyo Lightspray uses robotic nozzles to spray shoes directly onto foot-shaped molds, and Lamborghini slips beneath the surface with a seascooter that feels born from a cinematic dream. Even laptops are letting go of their screens, the Spacetop G1 exists only in augmented space, and humanoid robots like Figure 03 are now tackling everyday tasks, bringing the future of robotics into homes and factories.

It’s a strange, dazzling moment: when prototypes look finished, when technology doesn’t just assist us but begins to perform, imagine, and even dress like us.
