Nike Adds The Dad Shoe In Women’s Sizes
The dad shoe isn’t just for dad’s anymore. Previously debuting at John Elliot’s first womenswear collection back in February, the M2K Tekno practically caused a miniature social media earthquake, pulling Kanye West even from a social media hiatus, speculating that the M2K’s design is very reminiscent of the Yeezy 700 Wave Runner, before deleting the tweet. Regardless of your stance on whether the M2K is a blatant copy or not, Nike’s stepping up to the arena of dad shoes, succeeding the Air Monarch in this new iteration.
Complex multi-panel leather with a pressed swoosh on the lateral portion make up the upper (peek the mini swoosh just offset from the main swoosh). A pull tab is also present on the heel, and a thick wavy midsole with rubber traction pads complete the look altogether. Nike it seems, have created a worthy successor to its previous iteration.
The roster then, is almost complete. PUMA have Thunder Spectra, Balenciaga is still standing with the Triple S, FILA have the Disruptor, and Nike with the M2K. All that’s left is Adidas for the release of the Yung-1, a modern remix of the Falcon Dorf of 80s style. We’re living in good times, just not too good on the wallets.
The Nike M2K Tekno releases on Nike for approximately RM 600, this Saturday, May 5th.
