When it comes to Nike's Metro Tek, it's really all in the name. It's literally a techy city sneaker.

Nike's Metro Tek offers quiet technical details, all wrapped in a street-ready design, resulting in a sporty-casual model along the lines of Nike's Ava Rover and Ava X models.

Call the Metro Tek the young Ava sibling, even.

Like the Ava sneakers, the Metro Tek also features these chunky, wavy soles. But instead of the ReactX Foam, Nike's Metro Tek gets injected with ComfiRide cushioning, a soft and, well, comfy technology known for giving sneakers a stacked look.

Nike made its Metro Tek sneakers ready for whatever the day brings, but honestly, it's better as an everyday flex. It arrives in several rotation-ready colorways, including the black option pictured above.

And for those wondering, the Metro Tek sneaker is now available on Nike's website for just $67 (some colorways are even on sale!). But here's the thing: it looks like the Metro Tek is (mostly) a kid's sneaker. It comes in adult sizes, but these options are available at only some select stores.

Like those groovy Cosmic runners, 'tis another win for the Swoosh-loving kiddos.
