In its heyday, the Nike Air Monarch was one of the best cross trainers Nike offered. You'll see them on geriatric mall walkers and grass cutters alike. However, I'm here to tell you that the Nike Air Monarch IV is still one of the best shoes to workout with or chill out at the BBQ.
This year's entry into the Monarch line is dubbed "Fitness Fresh," rocking an all-leather look in obsidian with pink foam Swoosh accents. The durable leather is on top for support—lightweight foam teams up with Nike Air cushioning for comfort in every stride. Some call them a dad shoe or the old guy shoe. Some even call it the Grill Master 1000, but people love the Monarchs because they're comfortable.
The Nike Air Monarch IV Fitness Fresh will release on October 19, 2023 through Nike and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $130. Keep it locked to our Twitter and the Sole Retriever mobile app to stay updated on the latest releases, raffles, news, and more in the sneaker and streetwear world.
