Nike M2K Tekno

The Nike M2K Tekno is a lifestyle silhouette that debuted in one of designer John Elliot’s runway shows in January 2018 before being officially introduced in April 2018. Drawing heavy inspiration from Nike’s classic Air Monarch—the ultimate “dad shoe”— line, the M2K Tekno takes the Monarch’s chunky aesthetic and brings it forwards into a new generation of street style.

Featuring an upper with multiple layered panels and a bold plastic heel counter, the M2K Tekno is an ideal silhouette for the sneaker industry’s current chunky sneaker trend. Check out the articles below for release info and updates on one of the hottest new silhouettes of 2018.
