Nike introduces the signature M2K Tekno sneakers in an all-new construction that highlights premium mix-materials in three colorway options. The silhouette draws design inspiration from the iconic Monarch 1 and the Monarch IV, translated through the overall structure. The shape boasts a bulky form and the new uppers are constructed from materials including hairy suede, synthetics, mesh, and corduroy. This sits on top of a thick midsole foundation crafted from a full-length rubber material.
The three colorway selections are seasonally appropriate, with the options of either dark olive green, light obsidian, and wheat. Notably, branding accents are incorporated in the form of a small Swoosh over the side panels in a matching tonal finish respective to each colorway.
