Your Dad's Favorite Nike Monarch Is Back in New Suede Makeovers

The chunky, dad-approved Nike Air Monarch is back in new flavors ahead of Fall 2026.

A mainstay within lawn-mowing footwear rotations, the silhouette had already been readily-available through a variety of channels, but its latest "Black" and "Cacao Wow" suede makeovers for the new season further expand the franchise's Special-Edition (SE) roster.

The forthcoming pars forgo the bulbous, exaggerated proportions found on Martine Rose's collaboration from 2019 in favor of a robust, but streamlined design. Soft fabric covers the entirety of the duo's upper, opting for autumn-friendly ensembles. Comfort-driven midsoles match their respective uppers, while outsoles indulge in a "Gum Medium Brown" that rounds out the seasonal finishes with a fashionable touch.

The Air Monarch SE styles should release via Nike.com and a select global retailers by November with a $105 price tag.
