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.
