The “dad shoe” craze is in full swing, and Nike’s getting in on the action with a chunky new shoe for the ladies: the M2K Tekno, first seen in John Elliott’s Fall/Winter 2018 show during New York Fashion Week. The shoe draws clear inspiration from one of Nike’s best-selling (if not most appreciated) shoes of all time, the Air Monarch, as it offers a very similar silhouette with a hybrid version of the Monarch’s midsole and crimson and the same outsole. The “Phantom” iteration of the Tekno features a sail/light grey crimson with vintage overlaid leather panels and swooshes, offering a unique layered aesthetic. The heel features bright orange plastic detailing,  and a large orange swoosh adorns both insoles. The shoe’s normcore look is tied together with a tonal sail midsole and black/grey outsole. Several colorways of the Tekno will be arriving this spring and summer, and this light-colored version is set to release May 19th on Nike.com ladies nike air summer lite.
