The Atoms M251 by MKBHD sneakers have been created in collaboration with Marques Brownlee (AKA MKBHD) as a footwear style that pays homage to the YouTuber's career thus far. The sneakers feature a high-top construction that puts the YouTuber's signature black and red color scheme in the spotlight, and proudly display their model number on the upper section of the heel. The sneakers are built with everyday wear in mind with elastic shoelaces and an elastic tongue for easy on and off.
The Atoms M251 by MKBHD sneakers have a set of custom foam midsoles to prioritize comfort, while the upper mesh enhances breathability. Priced at $189, the sneakers have sold out for their initial production run with preorders for the upcoming summer drop still available.
