With the Nike M2K Tekno, leather combines with textile materials for an upper inspired by the Nike Air Monarch. Slightly slimmer than the original, but chunky enough to still fit the "dad shoe" trend, this style relies on a bounty of color blocking to create its aesthetic. The color scheme consists of white, team orange, blue, and black — a popular combination with sneaker fans — with white and black featured on the Nike M2K Tekno's lightweight foam midsole.
