The Nike M2K Tekno draws inspiration from the Monarch franchise and pushes it into the future with space-age detailing. Its layered upper mimics the design of the OG Monarch, while the chunky outsole draws on the beloved Monarch IV. Heritage Meets New Age The durable leather on the upper adds heritage style that draws inspiration from the OG Monarch. The sharp angles and sleek lines of the stitched overlays create a futuristic look that contrasts perfectly against the chunky design. Chunky Comfort The extra comfy foam midsole adds a chunky, '90s-era look inspired by the Monarch IV. Distorted lines and a TPU heel clip accent give the shoe a futuristic twist.
