Nike Monarch Shoes

Nike Air Monarch IV

With its leather upper, chunky midsole, and comfort-first design, the Nike Air Monarch has become a staple of dads everywhere. The silhouette defines what “dad shoe” means, and it has acquired a legacy synonymous with fresh-cut lawns and backyard barbecues. But with the resurgence of chunky ‘90s styles, the Nike Air Monarch has become a new fascination of the sneaker world, as celebrities like Drake and Russell Westbrook have been seen rocking the white on whites. Newer Nike models like the Nike M2K Tekno offer a reworked version of the silhouette that capture the shoe’s glow-up in sneaker culture.
