Overview
- England players have been wearing the distinctive footwear around camp this week, with Tuchel saying he has not verified the science but values the players’ belief in its benefits.
- Reporting identifies the product as Nike Mind, marketed to stimulate underfoot mechanoreceptors to improve concentration, with general sale reportedly planned for January 2026.
- Players were visibly using the shoes in training and media settings, including Ezri Konsa arriving in them and Marcus Rashford photographed trying a pair.
- The shoes sit alongside the staff’s psychological work, with Tuchel highlighting regular meditation and breathwork sessions led in camp that players say help them feel relief.
- With World Cup qualification already secured, Tuchel is using the Serbia and Albania window to reinforce standards, identity and focus rather than to overhaul tactics.
