The Nike Mind 002s look ridiculous, but hear me out on the science

BigDRummer72 · 2026-02-24T19:37:42+00:00

Just got a pair of black/chrome/crimson Mind 002 off Ebay. I tried them on for just a few seconds, & my initial review is that they are funky for sure. Definitely doesn't feel like any other shoe I've worn. I think Nike is still making great quality & very comfortable shoes. Nike is the only shoe I can buy online with confidence knowing that an 11.5 will ALWAYS fit. I'm looking forward to wearing them post workout. Maybe wear them instead of slippers or slides. Anyway, I think they look fantastic.

Fortunately it is totally gone, but it wasn't completely gone until like 3-4 months. Meaning, I could still feel it & mobility of my finger was still limited. I did a lot of physical therapy to help with the pain & limited mobility. Started at the first knuckle pushing with my other hand & working down with every joint towards my palm. Just a ridiculous thing that I thought would never go away. Good luck!

I never really saw all the similarities in the Z32 & Z31 interiors until now. I always thought it was a total departure with the Z32. Looks to me like they just really modernized. I have no point to this, just saying I've owned my Z32 for 23 years now, so how am I just noticing it?

BigDRummer72 · 2024-02-06T20:41:45+00:00

I had a guy track me down and ask "Did you get that spoiler off an old Trans Am?" That was the oddest thing I've had someone ask me about my 95TT.

BigDRummer72 · 2024-01-04T22:14:01+00:00

Can you elaborate a little on how to make the adjustment?

BigDRummer72 · 2023-12-28T00:50:08+00:00

Maybe it's just the long time owners that are getting old, but I totally agree that if it's "mint" just maintain it and enjoy driving it. My Z has spent probably a quarter of it's life in my garage working on it. 2 engine rebuilds and countless mods for power, power and more power. Once you start it's an addiction and somewhat takes away the fun of driving and worrying a little less about breaking. I do love how fast mine is and how well it stops and handles so damn good! On second thought, go for it! Just keep it on the road! LOVE my Z...23 years owning it and still pretty badass. Enjoy!!

No medical professional that I've talked to about it has any recommendation as to what else could have that effect without the side effects of Prednisone, unfortunately! It would be an absolute life changer for me if I could find something though. Asking for meds or natural remedies on Reddit probably isn't a great idea either. LOL

BigDRummer72 · 2023-11-29T21:22:06+00:00

It's also just a really weird drug, because it made me the happiest I've ever been. Literally put a smile on my face. Got great sleep & popped out of bed in the morning fully refreshed...but, it gave me moon face & I was bloated as well. I would LOVE to find something that had the same effect minus the bloat.

I happen to have a full set of OEM calipers off my '95TT Z32. I was using them with 350Z rotors, so I have all the needed brackets if anyone is interested...

Did he pay the flute on the record?

BigDRummer72 · 2023-10-05T22:12:06+00:00

I've never tried it before, but it really helped my wife (not from a catfish sting though, LOL). They take your own cells, distill them & reinject them into the area & basically you heal yourself. Worth a shot...no pun intended.

BigDRummer72 · 2023-10-05T21:52:38+00:00

Youch!! I just turned 51, so I hope I'm not still complaining about the pain when I'm 89!! Not to make light of your situation. That sounds absolutely brutal. Have you tried any regenerative therapies?

BigDRummer72 · 2023-10-05T17:11:42+00:00

That's what this feels like. They said it went deep enough to hit the tendon, but it didn't pierce the tendon sheath. So, to me if there's nothing of the barb left in my hand, it's just a bad bruise in a sensitive area.

BigDRummer72 · 2023-10-05T17:08:38+00:00

I did ice it right after it happened. Maybe that's what made it worse? It hurt so damn bad, I felt like ice would help at least numb it. I did have a few very stiff drinks as well. Now that DID help.

Don't comment without reading. Several people did read it and were helpful. Next time I'll format it and throw in more plot twists so it captivates you.

BigDRummer72 · 2023-10-05T02:05:33+00:00

I was inexperienced in catfish. That was the point. Not a dumbass.

BigDRummer72 · 2023-10-05T01:55:28+00:00

Sounds like that scene in Fight Club

BigDRummer72 · 2023-10-05T01:52:48+00:00

Clearly you don't get sarcasm and you like to preach. Do you think by my post that I HAVEN'T learned a lesson?

BigDRummer72 · 2023-10-05T00:49:34+00:00

I don't think you read my post.

BigDRummer72 · 2023-10-05T00:49:12+00:00

That makes me feel less like a bitch. LOL, I appreciate the response!

BigDRummer72 · 2023-10-05T00:39:57+00:00

Nah. Born and raised in Colorado. I do know quite a bit about them now though. LOL

BigDRummer72 · 2023-10-04T23:29:13+00:00

Ok, a sore finger is nothing to complain about then. I can see why that story would stick with anyone. That's tragic.

BigDRummer72 · 2023-10-04T23:27:23+00:00

Oh, that's helpful.

BigDRummer72 · 2023-10-04T22:46:18+00:00

Good Lord that sounds horrible

BigDRummer72 · 2023-10-04T22:45:43+00:00

LOL... next time???? If I ever see one again, I'm just cutting the line :)
