The Tekno’s large plastic heel shank is dressed in a similar shade of blue, and for another burst of color the outsole boasts a pop of bold infrared detailing that stands out tremendously from the thick white midsole. A finishing touch of detailing is provided by the mismatched red and blue swooshes on the insole — a clever embellishment somewhat reminiscent of Skepta‘s Air Max 97/BWs, another shoe that called upon the French flag for inspiration.



Nike’s modified Monarch silhouette dubbed appropriately as the has spawned a series of new colorways that are anything but, utilizing a mix of interesting materials and a slew of vibrant tones. This forthcoming pair, which seemingly has an unorthodox identity crisis, is blending luxe aesthetics with the contemporary ideals found in most common releases. Extending far into the realm of the avant garde, a blue-donning animal print lines the underlays of the upper with the overarching panels coming hit in a sultry black suede. Texture is the topic of choice here, with every facet showing visual interest in one way or another.

Of all of this year’s chunky “dad” shoe creations, it is certainly possible that the Swoosh Brand’s is the most adored. Drawing inspiration from the cult-classic Air Monarch, the M2K boasts expansive layering on its upper lending to a bevy of color blocking capabilities for Nike’s design team. Next up for the Tekno is an affectionately dubbed “Techno Future” color scheme that carries both a futuristic and retro aesthetic anchored by a primarily Gunksmoke colorway with multiple levels of grey and white and bold red detailing. Beyond this model’s on-trend look, its lightweight foam midsole provides incredibly plush cushioning, allowing for unmatched all-day comfort.

Now, it appears that Elliott is taking his talents to the retro-inspired, chunky dad shoe, model for SS19. Dressed primarily in white, Elliott ushers in hits of olive and grey while infusing luxe materials on its toebox, ankle collar, underlays, and more. This is not the first time the creative has lent his styling to the Tekno, as back in May and blue and red-ridden version of the same shoe hit retailers in select overseas areas.

silhouette, while far from one of the best new sneakers of 2018, won the hearts of many consumers serving as a modernized take on the cult classic Air Monarch shoe – a model that helped bring the “dad shoe” trend into the spotlight. Designed with endless color blocking capabilities, the multi-layered upper of the Tekno has created numerous head-turning creations the likes of the Sail and Habanero-equipped variety you see here. While the vast majority of this M2K’s body comes adorned in simple, earthy tones, its attention-grabbing heel piece and a portion of its Swoosh branding opt for a bright red hue to provide its lone splash of color.
