Additionally, the uppers are constructed from both suede and mesh materials, interchanging through paneling accents.

Notably, the uppers are complete in both Gunsmoke and 'Natural Heather' for a predominantly gray finish before it is accented with bright hits of red and silver. The iconic miniature Swoosh is incorporated through embroidery on the side in silver. The vibrant red details complete the sole unit, the lace eyelets, and the long heel bumper. The new M2K Tekno sneaker is now available for purchase online at SNKRS.
