Drawing inspiration from the Monarch, Nike’s modern day version of the classic silhouette, the M2K Tekno, has been well-received. The new chunky dad shoe from Nike starts off with white dominating the side panels which have been constructed out of leather and neoprene. For contrast we see the addition of green and grey on the tongues, toe, as well as the ankle/heel area. Swoosh branding in white and green on the side panels, a white chunky midsole, and a grey rubber outsole cap things off.
Grab the photos below, and look for this M2K Tekno to release in the coming weeks at select retailers and Nike.com. The retail price tag is set at $100 USD.
Nike was founded in 1964 as Blue Ribbon Sports and initially operated as a distributor for the Japanese shoemaker Onitasuka Tiger (now known as Asics). It officially became Nike Inc. in 1971.The Nike swoosh was designed by Portland State University student Carolyn Davidson，The slogan “Just Do It” was inspired by serial killer Gary Gilmore, who said “let’s do it” just before he was executed by a firing squad in 1977.
